it doesnt take much to hit 40mins deco. At Ginnie (shallower), a 165mins dive has 40ish mins of deco
Left of Sherwood Split branches in SM
0-5 Gear setup on surface
5-15 DPV to Double lines jump
15-47 Double lines to jump left (hill)
47-76 Both branches left of the split back to jump
79-96 swam back to start of double lines
96-106 DPV back to cavern
106-end Deco
(based on repetitive dive)
O.K. don't see the similarity, takes 35-45 min. to swim to the casing. D.H.
Man I hope it holds out for 3 more weeks! Coming back down last week in April!
Not likely, the river is still rising, fast.Originally Posted by knabuecave
Yeah, I just pulled up the NOAA river level there in Branford and it looks like in the next 5 days it's gonna get above the action stage and on up to 25ft! - Bummer
Ok to answer the big mystery deco question. It was a little less then 40 so I rounded up. I was on 25% (I topped off with air at Ginnie the night before ) I have been diving several days in a row so computer had repetitive dives. It took about 40 minutes or so to swim to in with no Flow 35 mins or so out. Max depth was 115 ft. My ave depth was over 70 ft and I take my time coming up. I prefer to ascend no faster then 10 ft per minute starting at 70 ft. I added a minute to my 50, 40 ft, 30 ft and 20 ft stops. Why? I am 54 years old and have had several broken bones and assorted other injurys including a spinal issue. In other words, I got the body of a 25 year old but unfortunately the cops made me let her out of the trunk of my car. I live my life in constant pain except when I am in the water so I am in no rush to get out it. Slow, slower , even slower makes a lot of sense in my case. So to sum it up, it was a freaken awesome dive and I took my time.

Again, wish I could have joined you on that dive MA. Maybe we can get one in before it goes under...?
(Kim and I cracked up at your body in the trunk mention too. Classic MA!)
My how this place changes!
Is that today?
Not likely, with the river still up.
