Manatee

Paul and I were just there today. The water is very clear, vis is excellent and flow is low. We dove Friedman's and the Chalkey Bypass circuit. Catfish Hotel is still open and clear.

Tracy darling,

You are a machine.....now you need a scooter and then a rebreather.

Oh where do you want me to send the pictures of you in my heart shaped jacuzzi?

I had two phenomenal dives today at Manatee (Catfish Hotel). As stated above, the head spring is closed (water level is WAY up). The water in Catfish Hotel is about 3 1/2' deep at the platform at the bottom of the stairs (ideal depth/spot to gear up in sidemount). Viz in the system was as far as my LM 12watt would shine--and the flow is really low. We entered at catfish, and swam upstream 600' past Sue's sink (almost to Friedman's) on thirds w/LP-85's on the first dive. Second dive I shot some video and we just went upstream to Sue's Sink. Daylight was penetrating to the floor at Sue's. Couldn't have had a nicer dive!

Remember a few months ago she wanted a single 80 with an H valve as she didn't see any need in going beyond Cavern

LoL! That jaccuzi was awesome! I think you need to bring your extra scooter down here when you come in April so I can test drive it in OW.

LoL! Times have certainly changed.

Ginnie isn't anywhere near close to going.... The water level is barely up at barely any tannic water trying to get in the ear... I'd say flow is up for Ginnie though... The ear is clear of any debris at the bottom it's crazy

Dived Manatee Springs, Catfish Hotel, today. VIS great, current ZERO...

[MacLeod]

TJ, looks like the water level is up even higher in Catfish. When we were there on Thursday, the water level at the bottom platform was only at chest level....
