I haven't seen anywhere that shows total feet from Peacock, Peanut Tunnel, Peanut Restriction, and out Olsen. Does any one know what it is?

Well, you're not supposed to exit at Olsen, so I'll assume that you mean starting at Peacock 1, going out the Peanut tunnel to the Peanut restriction, jumping from the end of the Peanut line onto the Olsen to Challenge line and taking a right, swimming through Olsen Sink and then out the Pothole line from Olsen to exit at Peacock 1.
P-1 to Peanut restriction - about 1,800 feet.
Peanut restriction to Olsen Sink - about 600 feet.
Olsen Sink to P-1 - about 1,400 feet.
Total - approximately 3,800 feet. This is from memory, so it's worth what you paid for it.
When Tracy and I first did this dive, we swam to the Peanut restriction from the Olsen side first and dropped a cookie at the end of the Peanut line to set up the circuit. We also swam to Challenge from both Peacock 1 and Orange Grove before doing the whole Mile Run traverse. I am afraid that if I start cutting corners Michael O'Leary will appear from nowhere and say, "Hey, whadda you doin'? I trained youse guys to be good safe divers! Knock it off!" :)

Mike's calculation seems about right to me. If you are interested in the history of Peacock Springs, the exploration back in the day, plus all the data from the last survey, I would highly recommend this book:Quote:
