    Default Little River Firehose

    OMG what flow! I have dove LR probably 100 times over the years this is the most flow I have ever experienced. A could of months ago someone posted the effects of over breathing and getting a CO2 hit. I think I can relate.

    I've been diving Little River for 15 years and I can't recall the flow ever being as strong as it's been lately.

    Thats surprising, we dove it a few weeks ago and I thought the flow was way down from what I've seen in the past.

    It's supposed to be strong. the low flow rate is not normal. back in the 80's it was always a workout of a swim dive. glad to see the aquifer getting recharged

    Exactly! It should be pumping -- I remember finding blue water at the rebar when the parking lot was flooded with river water.

    We always thought the Florida Room was a mythical snipe hunt,because nobody could make it that far.

    I remember diving with the late Steve Burman and his comments when on that day we had trouble getting passed the first big triangle. We talked about putting in a rope like Cow.

    I stand corrected. Should have looked at one of my old cards I received from him.
