    That is sad the first time I dove Little River the Water was all the way up the first set of wood steps, yet when you got to the middle it was pumping out crystal clear water.

    Twin had about 30' visibility in the Subway and dropped down to 5-7 a the bottom of the fissures. Very milky down there.

    Hole had about 30-40' visibility. Didn't get off the main line but imagine the deeper passages aren't much different than Twin's deeper passages.

    Is PSSP expected to have decent viz this weekend?

    Where will it go "bad" first?
    I thought about doing the Crypt or Wishbone.

    The river level is on the way down so it should be fine barring any more major rains.

    Like Rob said, it will be fine. There are some places the river tends to intrude, like the Wishbone area, and near Waterhole. It won't be too bad, though.

    Ironically there is a section in the waterhole that will become tannic just before the system floods,but I don't water levels ever reach high enough to make an impact. There is a theory that is being studied that water changes in Wishbone are likely due to a sulpher seep.

    I was just told that Telford is blown out. We will be headed to peacock and/or cow instead.

    Are any systems coming back yet? Madison and/or Little River specifically.
