Wow!! That was fast! I did two dives there Thursday afternoon. The basin was at typical
low water levels. I'm glad we had to be out by 4:30

Yes, Madison was closed yesterday after we arrived there and found it to be flooded. Just trying to get the word out.

Considering we got 4 1/2 inches of rain in two hours at my house in southwest Georgia several days ago - that water has to go somewhere.

[Taucher-Tom]

so it was your fault Slüdge!

...and now it is snowing here in NY. I am not in the mood for this yet.

Did Orange Grove today (12/6)
Basin still has duck-weed on it but the viz was like , er , crystal clear !!!
We did a small cave dive too and the viz was very good.

I haven't seen the basin that clear in a LONG TIME !!!! (SMILE)

Looks like it's time to watch the Suwannee guages again.
Better keep an eye on Little River and Telford.

According to the guage , the Withy rose about 6 feet from last Tuesday thru today.
The river is starting to drop at Valdosta as of today.
The Suwannee has come up about 2.5 feet at Ellaville thru today.

i can't even remember what the OG basin looks like when it's clear!
hopefully it stays that way for a while

During our dives yesterday, I noticed how clear Orange Grove was. I agree, Jean, I haven't seen Orange Grove that clear in a long time, too!

I dove Orange grove yesterday for the first time and all I could say was wow what a beautiful cave and it was the first time I've ever seen the basin clear. Absolutely beautiful. Finally bought a pass and will be back soon.
