Matt, you a member? I figure you would run the BS flag up if there were any problems.
People that have issues, join, get involved, and raise Holy He** if it's not what it's supposed to be.

Exactly!! Put your money and voting rights to work.

Could someone connect the dots on that for me? Agriculture (assume run-off) affects the viz how?

Agricultural runoff is typically rich in nutrients. Nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous promote algal growth. More algae, less vis.

Thanks.

I've been in a few cave passages that see a lot of surface runoff, and some of them are COVERED in gross brown slime.

Come dive some of the river caves on the Flint with me, that gross brown stuff can take vis to near zero if you get near it and aren't real careful.

Pack your gear I'm ready!!!

It's time to start pinpointing the intrusion points and clearing the water. Exploration is great but without a purpose to better the environment is nothing short of burning time which is becoming limited. When time runs out we all will be diving the brown slime and that's not much fun at all!

I feel ya. Its all over the ceiling, too. Braille cave diving in short order.

I'll take you any time you want, but it's new to me caves, not newly found caves There is line in them, and it appears to be very old line, they were discovered long ago. I'm still looking to be the first one in a cave, hasn't happened for me yet, but even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and again

Oh, and there is this huge river monster catfish living in one of them, he is as big as an aluminum 80

[offroadr1]

thats a huge monster to you? lol quarry i dove in once had catfish that could swallow a small child.
