Peacock - 09/06/08

Did a dive up Peanut tunnel on Saturday. Viz was a little milky (cloudy). Depth at the top of the breakdown room was 9 ffw. We played around in the front parts of the water-source tunnels up there. After we passed the 1400-1500 foot mark the vis cleared up once again (as it did the previous weekend) and was just marvelous. Sailed down thru Olsen and back down the Pots-hole line. Once we got around the jumps to Cisteen and Nicholson , the viz went down due to the river-intrusion water (you could feel the temp difference below the 60 foot depth mark). Viz in the cavern was very nice.

All in all , a very nice dive !!!! (smile)

And NO , the vis was milky on the Peanut line BEFORE we played in the front of those tunnels back there. ( LOL )
Not to say we didn't poofie it up a little.

Did the crossover circuit and some other jumps in that area. Vis down the pothole line was around 40 ft or so, the cave is still very dark in this area. The peanut side was slightly better, with the peanut tunnel having the best vis we saw all day- around 60 ft. The basin is higher, but clear. The bottom two steps are underwater. No crowds at all today, but enough mosquitoes to make up for it.
