    Default jb conditions?

    Would appreciate a report from anyone that dives jb today or tomorrow regarding conditions, i was in the system last friday and the visibility was a bit low (40-50 feet or so). Hopefully its improving in spite of the rain event last night and this am. Bill

    Vis. was worse on Tuesday; about 20', give or take (worst I've ever seen there). And the flow was kicking. Hope it's gotten better, but Edd is the best one to check with.

    Take it easy, it's not supposed to be work.

    Hi, vortex has a large pump system so it is usually very nice until the open water instructors bring their classes in and the vertical fin kicking starts driving the visibility in tha basin down but the cavern and cave still stay nice. Just got back from a jb dive and the visibillity was 30 feet plus or minus here and there. The flow was the strongest i have seen it in two years. I spoke with some who dove them today and they said the visibility was about the same in hole and twin with discernable flow in hole. Bill
