Does anybody have any info on the eyehole above the sump? how easy is it to get through on the way in and on the way out?

Might you be from my party this Saturday .. I'm guessing so!

The eyehole is about 50cm above the normal sump opening. It is a narrow slit that you access by swimming across while the sump is opening. Alternatively you wait a little while longer and the levels drop to the larger space beneath the eyehole giving you, in low water conditions, a pleasant stroll along a little stream and, in higher conditions, a somewhat wetter walk!

Excellent trip today and for anyone else wondering about the eyehole - do it, it's not too bad.
