    Question Peacock/cisteen conditions

    Did Peacock today, 90 minutes up to cisteen & around, Conditions were perfect, couldn't be better.
    Basin is dark, but cave is great.

    Has anyone done Peacock III lately? What's it looking like?

    Thanks

    I was in P III about 7 days ago and it was less than ten feet. We line squirreled it 400 feet before scrapping the dive. Three diver's had been in the day before and said it was 30 -40. It's a minor syphon right now and I bet even the most careful diver would mess it up. Just getting in and out of the basin you muck up the water a good bit and it gets drawn into the cave over the next 24 hours. P I and Orange Grove look great with barely noticeable flow. We did O.G. To P I (the grand traverse) and I did notice I was swimming uphill a tiny bit until past Challenge or Olsen, then it felt downhill. 50 plus viz the whole way.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    Does dark mean black and zero viz or just tannic?

    It was green from surface to about 15', viz 20' in this zone. In the system the viz was a clear 80'.
