P1 pics?
I keep reading the reports that P1 water level is way down, and that the giant stride entry is tricky now. Does anyone have any pics of the current water level there? I am just curious how low it is.

Thanks for sharing those. Wow, water is way down for sure.

I jumped into P1 saturday and the giant stride wasn't an issue to me. Just have to be aware of the rock directly beneath you (jump a little out) and if you jump too far out you could possibly hit the rock in front of you, but I think you'd have to try to get hurt.
Orange Grove was a little more interesting to me given the long drop. Then a bit of rock climbing on the way out. The rope there helps for sure.

I've attached 2 pictures from Peacock and 2 from Orange Grove. I know the OP only asked for P1, but what the heck.
These are from 1-22-12.
I wouldn't say the giant stride is a bad one. Like someone else said, be aware there's a little rock sticking from under the stairs, but it's nothing to be overly concerned about.
I couldn't see what's below the duckweed at OG, but I can imagine the trek out is an interesting one. I'd love to dive it, but I don't know that I'd get out easily at all with 104s on my back. Depending on the foot holds below the water line it may be one to take your tanks off and float them, climb out, then pull tanks out by hand
Ahem. It didn't occur to me that I should be extra careful when exiting the cavern. I could get jumped on ....Giant stride hasn't been a good idea there since they came out with them crazy rebreeder contraptions
Next time, I'll stay as far to the right as possible, that should get me out from under the steps quickly.
