What are the markings?
I was looking at my Peacock Springs T-shirt last night, the one with the system map on the back. What is the meaning of the numbers notated next to the various systems? Example 55 (several places) and other numbers with P in front of them. Are these indicating depth or something else? Thanks.

Without knowing exactly where you are talking about, I'm going to guess that you are seeing depth numbers, either on the ceiling or floor.Originally Posted by metaldector

The numbers with the "P" are feet of penetration.
Numbers that are underlined are depth (in feet) to the floor of the cave at that point. If the numbers had the line over them (I don't believe that map has any), it would be depth to the ceiling.

Thanks for the Input
Your explanation seems solid. Thanks. Now when I dive there I can check the T-shirt for accuracy!

On the doubles
I'd slip it over the doubles on my buddies back. He'd lead and I'd follow checking the accuracy of the T-shirt or is it a waterproof map? I forget. By the way, all of the numbers have lines under them so it is depth measured from the bottom of the cave.

The numbers with the "P" in front of them are usually the penetration distance from the nearest entrance.
