Little River

Plan on a conditions report by Wed :D

I was there last Thursday 12/24. The cave was great but the basin was flooded and completely blown out. We ran a primary from the stairs to the gold line. I just talked to a friend that dove it on Saturday 12/26 and he said the basin had cleared up a little.

Conditions in the cave yesterday were probably as good as any time in 2008 that I've seen, including before the May flood. Vis was around 80' back to the Last Room. Flow was way down; I'd agree with 1/3 normal. The river water was up to the lowest step, but there is a boil and clear spring water at the entrance. Daylight is easily visible from the start of the permanent line.

I got in there new years eve, and even the water on the sidewalk was pretty clear. Very little flow, and vis was awesome.

Agreed. :D
The basin is clear again and the cavern was very nice.
The flow wasn't bad and once we got a ways back in the Florida room the vis was very good (at least 50-60 feet IMHO).

Still some poofie on the rocks , but that's to be expected. Both the Serpentine and the Merry-Go-Round had very little particulate in them. AND that was after diving around noon after a busy morning. :D

Thanks!
