Rocky Horror 8/10
I had been wanting to do Rocky Horror for a long time and since Madison was open for the first time since my full cave it was happening.
Got in at Martz and all the silt on the walls gets kicked up and you really cant see anything until you get about 20 feet down and it opens up. You can definitely notice the flow towards the main line here.
Pretty interesting on the main line in some spots, couldnt always make headway just swimming against the flow. Dropped stages around 1100.
Getting off the main line at Martz helped a bit with the flow but there was still alot. Got to the sign and moved the clip, didnt even notice the memorial plaque on the way in. Thanks to Tony F for his description of the bench entrance at the beginning of Rocky Horror, was exactly as described and made it easy to pass. I really enjoyed that tunnel and cant wait to go back.
On the other side of Rocky Horror it gets silty again and just swimming over it caused silt to poof up from the bottom and reduce the viz to a few feet so go make sure to go extra slow here. I assume it is always like this just after a flood and will not be so bad after some time passes.
Turned the dive at a big white arrow that said WK. What's the deal with that arrow? On the way out we had to deal with a few feet of viz until we got back through Potters Delight and the tunnel got bigger. Cant wait to go back when the flow isnt quite so severe and get in the courtyard.
We did dive two from the main entrance and boy is that flow ridiculous. I could barely make headway against it pulling. Didnt try rabbit hole. Almost thought we'd have to call it haha. Made it in but sucked our stages down by the Godzilla jump. Did the Godzilla Circuit, some of the line in there was covered over with sand, but not much, gapped it with a spool just to be safe.
