Eagles Nest Trip 2/13

[floridabob]

Nice dive today at Eagle's Nest. Got in about 9:30am. Water was down 2 feet vs 4 weeks ago, despite the rain.

Viz was about 30 in the cavern zone. 300 foot line arrow upstream it got up to about 40 feet or a bit better. Viz after 700' was around 80 feet. Viz at 2100 dropped off, almost looked like river intrusion water...?? Tannic?

It was around 65 degrees in the basin for deco.

Beautiful dive! Huge rooms and impressive scenery.

Surface water from Gator Slough coming into King's Challenge from the Green Tunnel after the recent rain.

Thanks for the conditions report.
