    That is correct. It was safer to pull our line than to unsnag it from the spider web that was added. Flow was screaming and the ear is not a place to get tied up.

    We started to enter at the eye, but there was a team of four pulling deco in the entrance. Well three of them were laying in the entrance and with their stages laying around them it was better to go to the ear. It was do what the heck you want day I guess.

    That's probably because all 4 of them would not fit in the entrance, so one had to hang back out of the way to do his deco.

    There seems to be a tendency for divers to do deco in the eye at the cave entrance rather than moving back to the far side of the eye. I suspect it starts as team members exit then immediately turn around to watch other team members exit - then they all just stay there, obstructing traffic.

    When my 4 diver group (2 teams of 2) pulled deco in the eye, we did it on a very nice shelf just INSIDE the eye. It was not very obvious if you weren't looking, but just 10' or so inside the overhang there is a ledge where the eye first goes vertical down. Enough room for 4 divers with room to spare. To an entering or exiting diver, we would just be flies on the ceiling. Well out of the way on the roof. And no current or neutral buoyancy required. Just dump bladder, and lay on shelf.

    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Yea that's where I usually hang, but lately it's been too deep for 100% O2 with the high water levels.

    The water level is down now. No more than 21' at the normal deco crevices inside the Eye.

    Another reason I like to deco on 80%.
