As of last weekend they awesome. 50ish feet of vis, fairly dark walls, low-ish flow by Peacock standards. (The vis estimate was before I became the "lost buddy" for an apprentice class. It was more like 2 feet on the peanut tunnel side after I was done. :-D )

So that's what happened! :smt047

Orange Grove and PI were beautiful this weekend. PIII was about 30ft vis and dark, dark with practically nonexistent flow.

On a side note Telford was great this past weekend!

Well P-3 is on the cusp of starting to Syphon again it was springing for awhile I guess now it is about to Syphon again. When I dove it 2 or 3 weeks ago the walls were very dark but the water was clear more like 70ft or so its just the walls are so dark the suck up your light. But you can see buddy very well the line has tannic water stain on it also.

No doubt! It was my first dive in there. Light communication was almost impossible. Fun dive though!

Heh, my usual dive buddy is also my cave instructor. I jump at any chance to play "cave monster" for any class he teaches. I also double as an extra student if one bails out at the last moment. I must have taken Intro at least 6 times now. :-D

PIII was syphoning slightly on Friday the 4th.
