    Default Little River 4/27/15

    Amazing. Low flow and high vis.

    I really feel like this was the first time I was able to both dive it and actually look around and SEE the cave. If it were like that all the time I'd probably go a lot more often!

    What's the water level in the spring pool now? Is it still over the cement or has it gone back down?

    That is a great dive with low flow!!! How was the silt on the horizontal surfaces?

    The water is still up over the cement wall. The basin is clear too. Standing on the "sidewalk" the water is about chest deep.

    Jay: what silt?

    Typically after a reversal there is silt on the horizontal surfaces before the flow picks up. Especially areas like the Mud Tunnel and such. Sometimes if I was one of the early ones in and no one was around to be bothered by it I would do a little housekeeping to get the stuff off common areas of travel where it was usually just exposed limestone with no silt.
    I figured it was better if I could get a bunch of it out at once so people wouldn't be bothered by it a bit at a time.

    We dove it Sunday with about same conditions but I am giving up on LR until I am at full cave, it was just a struggle to stay above 100'. Made it further than I ever have before but ceiling was still at 95' when we turned because my computer was about to put me into deco, does it ever come up from 95' ?? I think Pete said we hit the "Y" in the gold line but didn't see what he was talking about.

    Why yes that was me in shorts and a t-shirt oops, a drysuit @ the 700' marker

    If you hit the "Y" which takes you to the Florida Room you would know.
