WSPSSP - Orange Grove 8/12/12

Thanks for the report Steve, that doesn't look too shabby--

We were in there today, just as he said. Nice dive, the tanic pools in the ceiling were kind of spooky to me. Never have seen that before.

Anybody been to Orange Grove within the last week or so? Im trying to get a condition report as I am considering this site for this weekend.

I dove it last Sat. Water's over most of the lower steps, vis in the basin was 5-10', vis in the cave was 30-40'. Made for a nice dive. There's an electrical cord running from the steps to the cave entrance you can follow in case the vis in the basin is crap. I think it's for an instrument, so you probably shouldn't disturb it.

If the sampling tube is still there, you won't have any problem.

Viz is 3-4' in the basin, but clears up near the trees.

oh yea, just follow the line down to the entrance WITHOUT touching it. FW is the man!!
