I just got home from3 days of diving at Ginnie. The diving was great and the viz was gin clear. The view during my surface interval was mighty fine too. Wayne at Amigos treated me especially well,as usual. I can't wait to get back next month.

it was milky all the way back to about 2500' on mainline
mainland was clear as well as the Hinkle
Did anyone ever tought of putting a web cam in Ginnie, put a Go pro in the Eye and run a cable to the office so it could be hooked up to the net. Maybe we could divert some of the money we get from coke in Peacock. Now that would boost public awarness for cave diving. It was amazing how ladie waterpolo got more attention when they broadcast all the swimsuit pulling underwater :) just a tought
This thread is worthless without pics.

No milkiness today on mainline to about 2500', a touch of milkiness in the Big Room (but pretty much what it's been last few months), but it did seem the flow might be up a touch (or maybe I'm imagining things). Still no where near "normal" Ginnie flow.
River is up at least in flow amount. Last Wednesday (6/13), there was a wall of tannic (cloudy tannic) water against the river side of the Ear's opening. Today (monday 6/18), there is cloudy tannic over the Ear and about 6' from the Ear's opening toward the Eye. The spring blow was punching a clear circle in the tannic cloud over the Ear. Crystal clear water in the ear starts at 8' depth.
Came for bikini pics. Leaving disappoinnted.
yeah... what an useless thread, talking about the girls at ginnie and not posting any pics
Can't speak for Ginnie recently, but we did make the huge mistake of being at Little River during Spring Break.
IMHO the view was horrifying.
For the most part, it is at Ginnie as well. there are a few exceptions, if you aren't very discriminating :rollguyQuote:

I heard Ginnie was not bad on Father's Day. My son and I though decided to get a dive in at Troy while my wife and daughter swam. We were the only divers there in the afternoon. (And the vis was nice too.)
I was there on Sunday - the viz in the cave was a bit cloudy until past sweet surprise. The river has come up a little, the tannic water was back to little devil (or a lot of crap was getting pushed into the water by the tubers). Viz past the Henkle was great when I got there...
