Does glacier melt and avalanches create higher water levels in caves in the spring? Vancouver Island is known for its healthy rain season and most caves are very predictable, swim or no go. I don't go in with rushing water all in my long johns.
Heavy rains or atmospheric rivers, which is heavy rain for extended periods sometimes days, are responsible for cave washouts.

Aside from the adorable wildlife, this is what the ground and the forest look like over rocky sinkholes. There usually isn't any stumps or big trees growing there but moss covered. Sometimes you can hear running water or feel a cold breeze protruding. be careful on your mountain off trail hikes.

Maquinna is an active submarine mud volcano on the Coast of British Columbia, Canada, located 16–18 km (9.9–11.2 mi) west of Vancouver Island.
Axial Seamount sits along the Juan de Fuca ridge ~480 km off the coasts of Oregon and Washington.
Ancient volcanoes

There was widespread volcanic activity on Vancouver Island and nearby islands during early Jurassic times. The lavas and tuff from this activity still form a prominent part of the island's interior.
Vancouver is also near the Cascade Range, a chain of volcanoes that's part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. The Cascade Range has been erupting for around 29 million years.
The Juan de Fuca ridge is not a continuous, uniformly high volcanic mountain range, but varies in relief along its length.

The best snow hike in on foot. If you cant manage the workout bring your snowshoes. After a little 4 hour trek into the great outdoors, always looking for the caves with a bit of a climb down. Some of these larger caves will already have an anchor.
At a hundred feet down the air gets pressurized as you breath and move around, pulling in more air from the surface.
