Geez, no kidding about the pull and pull. Flow did seem quite a bit more intense than last week and my poor fingertips are still red. Gotta love trying to put everything into a kick just to stay in place. :roll:

Interesting how the viz went downhill and was a lot worse than I was expecting.

Of course, all this just made the dive that much more fun and challenging! :-D

Okay Pat, what did you do to go and piss off the cave gods? Hope the vis improves by the second week of Feb when I'll be down for a few, kind of hope that the flow is still ripping though.

I dove LR this Sunday, I thought that viz was good, but my buddies said that it sucked. They have dove LR for way more years that I have, so I think they opinion will be more accurate. :-D

Not quite sure what I did but they did seem a little miffed. :roll:

I will keep my fingers crossed that conditions improve for your trip down.

(Of course, having said that - it is possible now that I have really jinxed it...)

You got that pretty little SS to get you through it. The ride out should be kind of fun... :)
