Anyone dove P3 lately? Vis?
TN
Dived it a week ago. Vis wasn't bad. 50-60ish once in the cave. The basin was crap and the cavern wasn't great either but as I said it cleared up quickly. Flow was near zero.
It was my first dive in P3. Spooky is the word. Looking forward to go back in there.
The shoals are there still, the winds howl loud, the rain beats down, the waves burst strong. Some night, in the chill darkness, someone will make a mistake: The sea will show him no mercy. John T. Cunningham
I thought the same thing my first dive there - pretty spooky. A couple more dives and it doesn't seem all that spooky...once you get in past the cavern. It's a great dive though. I'm looking forward to doing some more dives there, too.Originally Posted by chimie007

I was there Friday, and the vis was as good as I have ever seen it.
I was in on Friday and again on Sunday. The viz was great on Friday. On Sunday, even with a cavern class exiting as we entered, the cavern and main tunnel looked good.

Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.
Cavern class? In a siphon?
What agency was it?
All the "agencies" use P3 for cavern. Sheck Exley taught cavern there.Cavern class? In a siphon?

It isn't much of a syphon.
I took an experienced cavern diver in there in 2003 and got raked over the coals. I was surprised, because I also didn't think it was much of a siphon.
But I thought an instructor would have to be more diligent.
If Peacock Springs Park is the Disney World of Cave Diving then P3 is the Haunted Mansion. I love it!
Agreed, P3 is creepy and cool...way cool! No doubt she would not hesitate to slap us down if we don't respect her, though.If Peacock Springs Park is the Disney World of Cave Diving then P3 is the Haunted Mansion. I love it!
In the cavern, the flow is indiscernable and kudos to the cavern class that can come through there and not leave an obvious trace.
