Made three dives into RBD yesterday. First dive was down to the mouth of the lower tunnel, checking out the area at the bottom of the staircase, then exiting the cave. Dive 2, we decided to go into the lower tunnel just a little bit, and then exit. Exiting the cave, we installed the jump in preparation for dive number three.These first two dives was done on a stage bottle, with our doubles as exit and backup gas, but we was both able to complete the dives on the 80. Dive three was a shorter dive, we did the circuit, made the jump back to the main line, picked up the jump line on the way out, and called it a day.
Vis was 20-25 foot in the cave, slightly less in the cavern zone, but you could easily see the exit hole from the reaper sign. There was no flow detected at all, even in the lower tunnel. If conditions stay like this, I'm thinking a push to the big room might be in order soon.
