eagles nest question

[billb]

I haven't been to the downstream section for a while.
Is the lockwood tunnel a jump or tee to the left and how far
to the jump. I think max depth is around 220.

Thanks

With all the rain the conditions there are terrible, about two feet of vis with the last report. It probably wont clear up until October maybe sooner if we can go a week with out rain. I check my dive log and I had 226'.

it's a jump last i was there. not far at all
220ish sounds about right

About 400'p downstream. Def a jump. I hit 235' max depth last time in the Lockwood Tunnel. Don't waste your time going out there anytime soon.

It's almost a snap gap it's on some rocks that stick up out of the silt on your left as you head down the line downstream.

At one time the gap was so close that you could pull the mainline over to the jump and lock it with the existing line arrow. Someone pulled it over like that and left it clipped in. I returned the line to normal state and then moved the rock further away from the arrow so it would not be left like that again (you should have seen my buddy haul ass when the silt began to rise off the rock). I am sure this will have pissed someone off that I did it, but I think I acted properly and in the best interest of safety. It can still be done as a snap-n-gap, you will just have to use your own snap now.

I think you did the right thing.

You know OW divers don't carry a snap. They just drop the rock over the line. After staying in a Holiday Inn last night, of course.

But seriously, tiny gaps for some reason seemed to be missed on entrance but alway noticed, on exit. I remember people used to miss the one at what's now the first T at JB. I've seen exiting people just stopped and staring at it twice. I was glad they T'd it. Deep stuff, open the gap. Wasn't there a discussion here several years ago about the gap at the Lockwood tunnel?

Jumps at 200'. I have trouble seeing a benefit to that over a well marked T.

Close jumps (reach gaps and the like) at 200' are even worse, imo.

I agree, Ts work well in all the places that they are used. Having accidentally missed short jumps, I believe well marked Ts are a lot safer.
