Last report on Caveatlas says basin is duckweedy but clea on 4-7-15. I'm looking for an update on conditions. Taking some OW friends to Troy and thought a splash in OG might be interesting too.
56 views and no answer?? Has no one been in OG this week?
It was clear ish on Saturday, maybe 30 feet visibility. Not crystal clear so I probably wouldn't take students but regular OW should be ok as long as they are aware of the cave and don't go in. There were a lot of people in the basin that may have lowered the viz, hard to say.

on Monday (memorial day) We Heard that the basin was all gunky (algae'ied out) almost all the way to the cavern entrance.
Remember , that says : We Heard
Not we saw...

Hmm. Anything more definitive than heard since Monday? Seems like a big stretch to go from 30' on Saturday to gunked out on Monday, but..

Some people would consider 30' to be "gunked out".Originally Posted by kensuf
Ha! 30' is a good day!
"Is this thing on?"
I dove it on Monday, the vis in first 15 feet was sucky, but cleared up in the cavern and was pristine in the cave. It takes your eyes a minute to adjust but once you got down to the trees it was fine.
Definitely diveable.
Thank you that is what I wanted to know. Not a place for OW divers.. That leaves Troy anything else you can think of for a ow splash.
