Eagles Nest 6-30-15

[cavewoman]

Nest report: basin looks tannic and not so great at first glance. There's not much vis on top in the first 3-5 feet. The temp on water surface is VERY warm. Drop 5 feet and spring water!!!! Easily 50 feet of vis in the basin. As soon as we hit the solution tube I could see the top of the mound and sign clear enough to start to read it. We went upstream about 800 feet and I could see wall to wall pretty much everywhere with the bluest water I've ever seen Eagles Nest have. When we got back to around 200 feet of depth near the mound I could clearly see the limestone details in the solution tube and honestly I think you could shut lights out on the top of the mound and possibly have enough ambient light to see a fair amount. It was amazing. I've never seen it this good. It was close to this good about 2 years ago. Go dive it while you can. It's prime right now!

Hope these conditions can hold for a week...

It's turned a little but still good as of yesterday. Below 90' I would estimate the viz to be around 100', you can see the walls of one side of the cavern, but not the other side. Above 90' it's more like 50' to 60' with some particulate and just generally murky. Still pretty good for the nest though. Basin tannic to 10 feet now also. Surface temp 88 Fahrenheit. The road is in great shape!
