Anyone got a conditions report for Royal? Never been there, thinking of checking it out tomorrow.
I don't know the conditions.
Its a good OW gear check out site and an interesting (if short) cavern dive. I believe it turns very nasty and side-mounty just over 100' in.
I had essentially just wanted to go there and poke my head around. No interest in penetration there. I'll be heading to Madison on Saturday to piddle around a bit.
WHAT!!!??! There shall be NO PIDDLING inside the caves.......well at least not while I'm downstream from you!!Quote:

I was told that there are two reasons for going into Royal.
1) To become a body.
2) To recover a body.
I was told the same..Quote:

Well,
I'll let you experienced guys tell me about the cave. I just want to check out the OW portion. Probably a nice place to take OW friends when they are in town. And cheaper than Ginnie/Blue Grotto/Devils Den.
Troy Springs State Park on Highway 27 between
Mayo and Branford is beautiful place to go for
OW divers.
Peacock Springs State Park at Orange Grove Sink
is nice for OW divers too.
Ditto....Quote:
