Your BEST DIVE!!!!

[kidsdream]

I'm not sure I can pick the best of the best, but my top five are (including a couple of spectacular open water dives).

1. A site call E6 (old time photo processing) in Fiji. A crazy cavern we dove a near high noon with the light streaming down like a cathedral.





2. A spectacular drift dive (stern to bow) on the Wreck of the Duane at night. Orange cup coral on the hull and superstructure and great friends on the boat - Bailey's on ice on the ride back into Tavernier.

3. My first dive at Madison going thru Rocky Horror and into the Courtyard led my Forrest (thanks so much).

4. A spectacular dive at Chan Hol near Tulum

5. And a mesmerizing dive at Tux Kupaxa (Nai Tucha) that seemed to change around every turn and jump.

Best dives are dives that exist in my memory, and probably never replicated due to Florida's changing environment. Air clear water at Little River where the only way you could tell if someone was in water was from their bubbles. Eagles Nest with tremendous viz that even our old 50 halogen lights would illuminate the passage. Diving Devil's system with pristine black walls, passages with untouched floors,seeing the cornflakes,and 4-5 inch deep carpet of bacteria in the Insulation room. To me the iconic year of cave diving was 1998. Had a major flood that even covered the main highway to Peacock,but the aquifer was well charged. Every place was good that year. Remember dives in a springing P3 that had cobalt blue water with 100+ viz. Lastly I remember diving Cathedral when there was approx. 70 ft of viz, and the walls weren't covered with algae-what an awesome place.

I haven't finished my cavern/intro class yet, but my two favorite dives thus far have been the Peanut Tunnel at Peacock and going down the main line at Ginnie via the Eye.

I've been diving at Ginnie for the last year and a half and finally being able to go into the cave itself was awesome.

Huh? You're diving down the peanut tunnel without even having completed a cavern course?

Send me a PM, if training is a money issue I'll be willing to help so you don't kill yourself.
