Roubidoux dive report--MW CDF Social

[WJH]

As mentioned elsewhere, we had perfect weather (sunny, 70-75 F) and great attendance prizes for all whom attended.

Dive conditions were the usual water temp of 57 F, but better than usual visibility of 20-35 ft. and so little flow you could see it emitting from the spring but could not feel it in the cave. I was able to hover motionless at the 20 ft. deco stop in the cavern. I had the pleasure of observing many features which I had never seen before due to the great visibility and the slow pace afforded by the low flow.

Saturday dive 1 was into the lower tunnel to 600 ft. penetration (142 ft. depth) and deco was on EAN 50, during which we set up a jump reel to the front part of the circuit line.

Saturday dive 2 was just into the lower tunnel and back out before reaching a deco obligation. On ascending from the lower tunnel we jumped from the main line to the back part of the circuit line and took the long way out.

Sunday dive 3 was back to the drop-off, around the circuit from back to front, removed the jump reel and again went back to the drop-off to a max depth of 105 ft. before slowly exiting the system.

It was quite possibly my most enjoyable weekend of cave diving to date.
