Caves? or worm caves?
I went cliff jumping 260 feet beneath the earth’s crust (in a cave)! Personally, the only thing I can say is WHAT THE HELL? This more mature response perfectly sums up what we did, not 2 days ago.
I would like to take you 30 min before our plunge into a glow worm cave. Our experience started with putting on a three-piece wet suit consisting of waterproof pants, waterproof socks, and a waterproof jacket. This may sound like a bit much right? In truth they should have given us a bit more (it was so COLD), as we make our way to the waterfall practice jump site, it is just as cool as it sounds. This is where we will, uh practice jumping off waterfalls… Yup, we didn't end up doing that because the water level was too shallow. So fast forward grabbing are tubes and we start our descent into a cave with glowing worms. Two things you must know to get the effect of descending 260 feet below, it is cold. Everything is cold, the water is cold, the walls are cold, you are COLD, and the cave ceiling is so low my dad had to crawl on all fours. Fast forward, within 10 mins we reach our first waterfall. The ceiling is now 3 meters above our heads and the sound of the falls is defining, our job is to simply take our innertube and jump back over the falls, and keep in mind we are now about 260 feet beneath the earth's crust and can not see the sun. Anyways the idea of jumping off of an underground waterfall backward into the water so cold it makes mount Everest seem warm is the only thing I thought of as I jumped, *SPLASH*.
Just listen, you would have the same expression if you jumped off of a waterfall backwards!
