What did i see in the water?

Yesterday while diving at Eagles Nest with a couple of buddies, I saw something that I have never seen before. We were at the end of the line on the upstream side and went a bit further to look under an overhanging ledge. It is difficult to describe, but I will try my best. It made me think of a layer of smoke. It was small patches and not just a solid layer. We saw it in several different locations. Almost like a flat cloud.

Could this be some kind of bacteria? The cure for cancer? Narcois for multiple divers at once?

Sulfide Layer?

Maybe a defined bit of salt water or tanic water?

Sulfide layer.....that phenomenon exists all over the west coast's cave systems, usually in the mixing layers of salt/brackish/fresh water....

...found in the panhandle too

I saw this explained on Star Trek just the other night. It is a smoke creature that, if contacted, will extract all of the salt from your blood and leave you a small crumbly block of a Styrofoam looking stuff. Spock called it illogical, and then they baited it with salt and transported it into deep space. Do not carry any extra salt with you in Eagle's Nest, you should be fine.

It was either that, or a sulfide layer.

That is just the mens room. It's marked on the old maps.

Yes, exactly like I saw. From about 0:33 to 0:50 is what I saw.

Sure looks like a sulfide layer. Did you smell or feel anything (other than Jeff)?

i did blow open my DR pee valve right about this time

It doesn't matter since you forgot to connect the catheter to the tubing. The only thing you blew was ............. never mind.

Outstanding video, Phillip. Is the music Tangerine Dream? I've swam through some weird ****, but I've never seen anything quite like that.

Mel was diving with us and mentioned that she wanted to look under a ledge that she had seen previously. Jeff and myself probably would not have known anything about it without her, so I give the credit to Mel.

Besides that, I really hate the idea of giving Jeff credit for anything.

Feelin' the luv all around

Did you hear small voices whispering to you to swim towards the light? :-)
