Morrison Springs, 06/04/2012
After receiving cavern training by RN last week, my buddy and I headed over to Morrison Springs this morning for a day of diving in the sun.
So this is my first report, with hopefully more to come after our upcoming basic cave training.
We arrived on site at around 9am and were the first guests at the park, greeted with a nice welcome from the deputy sheriff. The facilities there are awesome, it is entirely free of charge and, as it turns out, well guarded by law enforcement as well :-)
As always in life, there are minor drawbacks... There is an advisory posted from the 31st of May regarding enterococci bacteria with re-testing scheduled later this week. We decided to take our chances anyway...
The visibility in the basin is fantastic, we would guess at least 30 yards, if not more. The temperature in the lower cavern was 69 degrees and with a powerful light you would pretty much be able to shine right across from one side to the other, well virtually at least.
There was some flow, which we did notice, but once we figured out a plan (low and left hand entry worked for us), it was no problem at all.
The amount of eels and other fish in the cavern is amazing, so we had a real good time and plenty of fun.
We'd especially like to thank RN for the fantastic training and all the help with the logistics, it's greatly appreciated!
