Met up with Curt Schuster and headed up to Peacock. We both had full tanks, so we headed straight to the park. For our first dive, I led up the Peanut line. Visibility is much better than the last time I was there, and flow is almost non-existent. Visibility increased even more once past the Crossover Tunnel. With the increased vis, I noticed a lot more offshoots, including one up in the ceiling just after the Breakdown Room. At the Peanut restriction, the line is over to the left in a line trap, making it difficult should someone need to follow the line in a siltout. We turned the dive at the end of the line. Back at the cavern, we had no deco obligations.
10/2 14:30-15:31, 61 min, 68 ft max, 50 ft avg, 32%, 70 deg, 2:59 SI
On the second dive, Curt led up the Peacock Line, to the end of the line at Olsen. Several of the concrete line placements have been dragged across the floor scaring things up pretty bad. On the way back, we quickly jumped over towards Peacock 2, but the line was way off the mainline so Curt's jump reel didn't have enough line to make it. Again, we had no deco obligation.
We had the park practically to ourselves; three other teams the entire day! On the way home, we stopped at both Telford and Little River. The river has gone WAY down, both systems are pumping hard and clear. Telford II is also clear, but Terrapin is still tannic. Lots of locals at both sites.
