Mill Pond conditions (specifically Twin and Hole)?

[mer]

Anyone have recent reports from Twin and/or Hole in the Wall at Mill Pond?

I called Cave Adventurers today and they only had a recent report from Jackson Blue.

Thanks in advance.

I talked to Edd last Thursday or Friday and he said Twin was fine, but HITW pretty murky the first 1000 feet upstream. He did not have a recent report on the downstream side.

We dove Hole on Wednesday the 13th o March. It was pretty murky up to the Century Tunnel tee. Stayed murky quite a way up. Started clearing around London Bridge. A little past there it turned crystal clear. Crackling after that.

There was also flow at the entry! I had to find a handhold here and there while I was running the line! Probably won't last though.

Read a report of two dives last weekend reporting 20' visibility at Hole in the Wall.

Twin looks fine. Hole in the Wall still has a month or so before it starts to get better. Maybe longer if we keep getting downpours of rain every few days.

I dove both Twin Cave and hole in the Wall caves on 3/24/13.
My first time in both systems.
They appeared fine to me.
Approx 30 ft vis of better.

Several false starts in Twin cave but only a load of silt in cavern zone and that was mostly my fault. We did not know the lay out that well. First time there.
But on third try, we were much better and a very good dive.

Jackson Blue was very nice with excellent vis. Blue water in the cave. Dove there two days last week.

Thank you!

Flow in JB last week was up and very manageable. Twin had excellent viz of 80' or better even in the lower section. Hole was 20-30' viz at best upstream.

Just got back from 3 days at JB. flow is the strongest i have seen in a long time, but still below historic levels. vis was awesome.

3/28 JB vis great, decent flow.
3/29 Hole upstream, vis 30 ft until 400' in, then about that on the floor, and 60-80' near the ceiling in the taller rooms to about 1100'. Definitely a thermocline near the floor (maybe at 75' depth). Hole is slightly outflowing.
3/30 Twin 50' vis shallow and lower section
3/30 Hole downstream, vis 30-50', not much better in the domes. Slightly outflowing.
