    Default Who's dived Harvey's lately?

    What's the vis? I'd like to dive it next weekend.

    Tally got nailed with a lot of rain, and I wasn't getting optomistic reports.

    Gerry and I dove Harvey's last night. The basin is totally blown down to 25 feet. Finding the tie off log is done by the Ray Charles method. From the tie off to the dumbbell, it begins to improve. The turtle passage had 20-25' hazy vis. The Crystal room was no better, peppermint passage a bit better, not much. The tunnel to the pit was 10-20' hazy vis. We did not go into the pit ot past the jump to the crystal room. Water temp 68. Level high, though we could have been there at high tide. Sulfide layer at about 25 feet, just enough to give you a good taste. The basin is bad, 3' or less vis. If you dont know where the tie off is, dont go.

    Someone has beat the crap out of the overhead in the turtle passage since we were last there about a month ago, little pieces of it scattered around. Two big handprints in the mud. The line is not in good shape. For those that don't know, Harvey's is not a entry level cave dive.
