Anyone done the Nicholson/Cisteen/Olsen loop lately?
Done it many times, but it's been years since the last.
PM me if you've been there so I can confirm my memory of the lines.
Thanks

from P1 headed toward Olsen, the first jump to the right after pothole is Nicholson. At the end of the Nicholson line you'll end up facing the cisteen line. Left goes back toward the main line, right goes up to cisteen / the crypt.
The second jump to the right after pothole is the cisteen line itself.
Thanks to all who replied, seems the lines are as I remembered.
How about looking at Caveatlas.com
Maps are under the resource tab.

The most powerful minds are the ones that can be changed.
When you're in that area keep your eyes open and you may see something cool in the walls.
Had a nice dive yesterday....P-1 to Cisteen jump, past Nicholson jump, past both Wishbone jumps (red arrows on main line mark these and Cisteen and Crypt quite well), then up to the Olsen jump, Only caveat is that the line for the last 30-40 ft. to the Olsen jump has been pulled loose and then badly retied at the jump...line commitee may want to address that.
Visibility is stellar up in that area.
Back to P-1 via Crossover/BD Room.....very clear in that area as well. Basin as clear as it's been in a long time.
May be back up there in a couple weeks, might fix it then, if no one else takes the initiative.
Looks like it got fixed...took a look yesterday.
BTW, it was a circus at P1 yesterday...Bill Stone and his group were there, doing testing on his AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). Jill Heinerth and Dr. Richard Pyle (reknowned deep water ichthyologist and Cis Lunar user) was there as well. as was Joe Dituri of Tampa chamber interest. Parking area was full. Had a few good, but short conversations with all of the above...it was a busy group.
Fortunately they were just using the cavern and first 100' of the cave for evaluation, the rest was devoid of other divers and the viz. was still outstanding in the Crossover/Olsen Bypass/Peanut Breakdown areas.
Perfect day...jeans in the morning before the dive, shorts in the afternoon after!
