If you were to pick one cave to dive out of Ginnie, Little River, or Peacock, which would it be and what part of the system?
O and Full with stage.

Peacock, because I'm lazy...
P1 to Waterhole III. Probably wont need a stage.
I loved the grand traverse at Peacock....variety of landscape and pace
LR, it's free :)
Ginnie, more diversity than either of the others. Flow, no flow, rocky, silty, muddy, giant big rooms, or tight squeezes. Everything you could want.
One of my favorite dives is the double lines circuit. You can do that with or without a stage depending on your SAC.
Jailhouse :)
Nice, but Ralph's is better :-)Quote:

I've always found Little River ugly aside from the Harper Tunnel, and that's taken a beating since I started cave diving just a few years ago. Aside from that it's often higher flow and lower vis than the other two, and borderline trimix dive with decompression. I avoid LR at all costs.
Heh... most cave divers wouldn't make an admission like that!Quote:

I'll second Ginnie. SO much to see even in the first 1500 feet. Can't go wrong!Quote:

Brandon, make it Ginnie...best dive to thirds...bats circuit.
Double Lines Circuit is a sweet dive!

Ur funny...with you I've seen it all...but yea sounds good...lol
One of my best dives ever was p1 and i never made it past pothole theres a lot to see just past the sign just gotta go left and right.
LR is last. Peacock is second. Ginnie wins due to access and diversity.
Just did the Sweet Surprise to Mainland trip this last weekend no stage necessary and killer GoPro video to boot. Very nice. Single stage and a scooter in Ginnie gets you a great dive...but I almost feel like a sell out saying it. Meh.
I have always loved Ginnie.
But since I finally did the traverse OG to P1 via peanut last Sunday, Peacock is moving up quick on my list. I saw a lot of passage I want to go dive.
so Brandon what did you decide and how was it?
I second Greenwood 60's motion to nominate P1 to Waterhole III: an interesting crawlway followed by a huge mysterious cave leading to a sculpture garden.
Ginnie and was great Steve!!!...lol
Brandon, with your SAC rate why do you even need a stage, lol!!!
My sac is not good. Lol...I told Steve I would race him, and he could bring his scooter...lol..
LOL!!!!!!!!!!Quote:
