Great pics Jill! Looks like Jug might be a good option for diving this weekend. OK, everyone else stay away from Jug!!!!! LOL

Good dive today in Orange Grove. Water fall coming into P3 with a vortex over the basin. Reported 3-4' vis in P1. Peanut line divable. Thinking at Dive Outpost is the system will go down soon. Waiting for Paul and students to come back for their report.

Thanks

Brown water reported to be to Pot Hole. You might be able to get in a dive at Orange Grove in the morning but if the ranger closes P1, the entire system will be closed. Jug Hole is reported to be nice. Diving Ginnie tomorrow

I see two reports on peacock, on 03.23.13 at 1004 says its blown, then on the same day at 0748 its crystal clear. Hmmmmm interesting.

It went under very fast. That is one reason not to dive a system that is on the verge of reversing. You could get trapped.

Yum not only are Madison and now P3 siphoning but they are sucking down sewage!

remind me not to do my usual drink breaks mid-dive for a while!

Oh and conserve some water please so the springs have some flow to fight back with when this happens...

I watched a NOVA special the other night entitled "Earth from Space". It detailed a lot of different types of satellite data that has been collected for the last 30 years. One interesting animation showed a bulge in the crater at Mt. St. Helens due to subsurface magma. The documentary stated the accuracy was +- 0.25 inches. There was a large segment of the show dedicated to ocean currents. Just think of what a researcher could do with that data as it relates to the rivers and springs of N. FL. An animation of flood waters as they pulsed down the rivers would be very interesting...

The problem is the horizontal resolution from space. You can see big things with high accuracy, but can't see small things....like rivers...or bulges in rivers....
