I think what you're asking is how do you pinpoint the openings, if you have divers offshore they should be able to get a pretty good fix on where its coming in based on where the dye is strongest.

I think thats what you're asking...

It's cool...I was just agreeing with you.

You wouldn't be able to tell. You would have to use a large amount of dye to get enough saturation to be visible when diluted amongst the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water. The diver's would be blinded, and the whole cove flooded with dye. And there would be a time delay in when the dye would travel so it's not like you can say exactly where the dye was at when it becomes visible in the shaft or across the island.

Thats interesting, it denies some of what the show says but confirms others, like the coconut fibers and the fact that there is a layer of freshwater over the heavier seawater.

What I didnt care for, was the statement that "Triton" restricted access to certain areas... are they trying to help get to the bottom of this or what, why would you restrict some areas?

I have been watching this and been reading about this for over 20 years.

There seems to be a lot of people who've been following this for decades, I'm always looking into weird mysteries and the first time I ever heard of it was maybe two weeks ago when an ad for it came on.

I think it'd be very hard to do. To see the whole shore of water turn red, yes, but to see a particular spot? I'd think you'd need to be below water to see it, and as murky as the water is, I don't think you'd be able to catch it before you were immersed in it. Not without assistance anyway.

Maybe a infrared camera could detect something quickly, or backlight with some sort of solvent, or hot water and a thermal camera.

Even then, it'd be hard to stop water from getting in. I guess you could pump hydraulic cement in. But with five box drains, just cut off the main shaft. Which is likely just a trench they dug and filled with gravel covered with coconut fiber and buried.

Holy grail?

I'm not sure why this is so nuts.

Is it more nuts than free diving? Or scuba diving in deep ocean water? What is so nuts about it?

What he did, with that gear that was likely primitive THEN, sure, a bit nuts, but with modern means?

This.

If they're willing to spend enough money, I bet theres a way to do it.

Who knows, but someone went through a LOT of trouble to hide whatever it is... considering the era they think it was built in its something of an engineering miracle.

Give me half a million and I have it in months. It might not even take that much.

Like I said, the easiest no fuss way to ensure you cut it off is to build a water tight wall sub soil.

It's done every single day all across the world.

It's really not. Pretty simple design and execution from the info we have so far. Just need time and labor.

Both the existing main shaft as it sits today, and 10X were likely dug in the same way it was originally dig before filled back in. By hand, raising and lowering buckets.
