Dive Report - Orange Grove, Peacock, Royal, Little River - 9/15/2019

[CaveSloth]

Dove Orange Grove, Peacock I, Royal Spring & Little River Spring.

Orange Grove - Bad visibility above the thermocline at around 35 feet. Increasingly clear below that. Lots of dead trees down in the cavern at 50-60 ft. Someone get rid of these! Haha. Cavern goes down to 90ft+. It was fun and felt like Indiana Jones coming up through all the green scum at the surface. Surface is entirely covered by some kind of weird green scum / micro leaf plant.

Peacock I - Beautiful clarity. We spent over an hour on one dive in here exploring around all within daylight zone. Amazing. Great place to practice your buoyancy and trim and skills in my opinion.

Royal Spring - Zero visibility both in the basin and the cavern entrance. Do not enter the cavern. Extremely dangerous. We spent 5 minutes and left. Tons of rescue diver training scenarios happening there. Madhouse.

Little River - Beautiful clarity. Tree somewhat blocking entrance. Maybe a good thing to keep people out. Watch out for cave students practicing laying line.

Love it so much!! I haven't been as relaxed as I was on that dive in Peacock maybe ever.

The trees at ORang Grove and LR have been there almost forever
