    Default Roubidoux now over 10,000 feet

    I usually only post these updates in the Ozarks sub-forum, but yesterday's OCDA exploration was a significant milestone that others might be interested to know.

    We had another successful day yesterday. The day started at 6 am and finished at midnight. The exploration team had just over a 14 hr dive, but added 1260' of new line, then surveyed that line, plus 500+' added last weekend. This brings the total surveyed passage to 10,084'!!

    Passage is still large and going. Conditions were 15' viz and 57 degree water.

    We'll be back.

    Congratulations, I guess, but 14 hours at 57 degrees? Have you lost your mind? How many weeks after this dive does it take for your testicles to descend again?

    To do 14 hrs in 57 degree water at that depth, your testicles are way too big to ascend in the first. Congratulations guys great job.
