I heard the rumor which may explain the sudden clarity of the basin about a month or so ago.
I heard that rumor too.
I'm not sure but wasn't there a report of horrible mosquitoes a month ago also? I didn't get assaulted by hordes of mosquitoes at Peacock yesterday as I was expecting. Maybe they are related?
The basin was crystal clear this morning. You could see all the way to the bottom and not a single mosquito bite the whole time.
Woohooo... All Hail DDT !!!Quote:

P1 looked a lot nicer Sunday morning after a chilly Sat. night, not great yet but there was definate improvement overnight. I worked three days and had no mosquitos the whole time.
Safe diving,

Could that have been because you have had all of your blood sucked out over the last few months? Have you been eating a lot of garlic, and they just don;t like you anymore?Quote:

As thick as your wetsuit is its a wonder it ever finds its way out.What is it 9 or 11mm?.The mosquitos are rare now due to the cooler temps and not much rain.I know,Ive been bowhunting since late September.Evenings still bring out a few.

Two things I noticed:
Definate flow in the Peanut tunnel on Sunday ...
GREAT Vis too ... !!! :D
Had an awesome time poking around up near the Peanut Restriction.
Came back down the PotsHole line and everything looked just MARVY :D
I thought the vis in the basin was very nice. And we even had some light coming down from PotHole too. Cast a nice little bit of coolish light on the floor. (this was late in the afternoon and since Sunday was a wonderful sunny day well ... )
Film at 11 (EEK)

P.S. Depth at the very top of the breakdown room is around 7 feet. For those of you that care. I keep checking it just for repititions sake. AND there was plenty of fishes around late Sunday afternoon , so , I would assume they weren't as shocked as everyone else was. (erp)
I had to do a double-take to make sure this wasn't posted by Lisa Douglas (Green Acres, Eva Gabor).Quote:

Speaking of North Dakota, I now have divers from all 50 states, just recently I added North and South Dakota, I needed a diver who actually dove at PSSP while living in their state
at the time they visited the park.
Janet
PS It was the garlic in the blood stream that sent the mosquitos away.
Who was the diver from Florida? :smt102Quote:

We dived P1 this morning. Conditions are excellent! Bottom of basin easily visiable from steps and viz. in cavern/cave is similar. No bugs!
They're all over at Jackson Blue.Quote:

Dove Jackson Blue, Twin, & Hole in the Wall last week - Twin & Hole for the first time. I was casting hungry looks at those crayfish - I've never seen ones that big anywhere! Pugnacious buggers, too!Quote:
