Has anyone dove peacock this week ? if so how was the vis.
When ya ask about visability, you have to concider if the responder is a former Great Lakes Wreck diver..... "I can see 20 feet forward, and I can see 20 feet backward...so thats 40 feet of visibility" Have a safe dive, I'll be there this weekend...Ken
Makes sense to me! What's wrong with that logic, Ken? :smt102
Was there Friday, but I think it was 30' forward and behind... so let's say 60' :smt102 Getting clearer every day.

The vis is improving by the minute!

Going to be diving there today and this weekend too.
I'll post a report.
I like the front , behind thingie , but what if you NEVER look behind because something might be a gainin on ya. ???!!!
Can I take the behind vis and put it in front?
Hey , that's a great idea ( lol )

Now there's an idea - why didn't I think of that? :)Quote:

Vis on the Peanut side getting better (SMILE)
And vis on the PotHole side has almost doubled from last Saturday . (yahoo)
Well , maybe not doubled , but it sure looked better to me.
We did notice some brand new scrapes in the Crossover tunnel. (UFFDA) sigh
It's really easy to see if something has happened since the flood now. Stands out like a sore thumb.
Things all in all ARE getting better , slowly...Less tanic on the Mainline side. And just maybe a whiff of flow on the Peanut side.
Thanks!

Russell and I went up the peanut tunnel to the peanut restriction on Sunday the 5th. Vis was not bad, around 50 or 60 ft, though there was some haze in the water. Tunnels are darker then usual. The line is draped with mung at various places.
Spent the weekend in Peacock....
Orange Grove basin was murky, ran line from the surface rocks down the face to the trees. Inside cave viz was a tad less than stellar.... but otherwise very nice conditions... Zero duckweed on the surface.
Pothole tunnel was slightly tanic, an orange hue and limited viz, maybe 30-40'...
Peanut tunnel was a markedly better, but still not pristine like previous visits...
Nicholson tunnel had lots of dust about and fauna covering the lines made for a downright spooky dive...

Anyone been in Peacock this week? How is the vis?
Ditto that. We are heading there (P1) in the AM. Anybody dive it today??
Thanks,
John
Dove P1 today. The basin is the clearest I've ever seen it. I mean clear clear. I was really surprised. Peanut was not bad at all, not crystal, but close. Pothole was a little bit murky, but not bad. It always seems a little less clear than Peanut anyhow. Lots of people there, a real who's who of cave daving :smt081. When we were leaving it was pouring so hard, there was actually a river running through the parking lot.
sounds great! Thanks for the report!
Lots of divers in P1 Basin in the morning, with most of the divers heading up the main line - vis in the 40'+ range with a lot of particulate in the water.
Did our second dive at Orange Grove in the afternoon. No other divers, just our group of three. Still very dark and with a deep tannin influence down to the 30' level. We tied a line to tree just a bit from the stairs as the vis. was around 10' till you got down to the big branches near the entrance. On the plus side, one we got into the cave the vis was great, very clear and with no other divers; nothing was stirred up at all. Just a bit more flow than my previous dives at OG - I guess this support the great vis. Rains just starting when we surfaced.
My buddy Chris and (Ed stayed in Lake City) stayed at a large trailer home right across from Amigos - the place is large with beds everywhere $25/person. Call Wayne for rental details.
Looking out the cavern it was still very tannic,you'll sure be impressed in a few months when it really clears up.Quote:
