    Default Watch Suwannee river water levels-lot of water heading south

    The gauge at White Springs from 9/5 to 9/8 went up 16ft,and has dropped 5ft up to now. I think Peacock will be fine,but places like Telford,Little River,Lafayette,and Troy may be in jeopardy of reversal. Keep an eye on the river gauges.

    Tropical System is supposed to be drawing drier air in over the central part of Florida I guess it is not reaching that far north?? This is going to Stink if my trip on the 19th Weekend is impacted.

    Default Hard to believe

    I was down there two weeks ago and could not convince myself to swim up to telford as the river looked pretty low and my neck seal had a hole.
    Anyhow sounds like the river came up a few feet

    I was in Peacock last weekend and the peanut line was okay, but the olsen line was pretty blown out up to about 800ft. Supposedly the orange grove side was pretty clear, but I didn't dive that side.

    Has anyone dove peacock or orange grove in the past few days? How is it looking?

    I dove Peacock today (Saturday). Mainline (Pothold line) was a little smokey but there was a lot of traffic in the cave. But there really no BAD viz anywhere.

    Royal was fine yesterday.

    Went to little river afterwards and tannic water moved from the riverside of the run to overtop the cave in one short dive. It hadn't reversed, but flow was way way down.

    Graphs look to be going in the right direction for this weekend to be good diving.
