    We had divers in the water over the weekend, Saturday I think. They reported vis was around 6ft entering at Martz.

    Monday morning we got a call from the staff @ Madison Blue...park closed to diving until conditions improve.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    South Georgia got pounded by some heavy rain Sunday night. I would expect the Withlacoochee to be going up.

    I talked to the divers coming out of Martz and one indicated that the viz was up to almost 30ft, and that the dive was doable, but not enjoyable.

    Park was closed to diving Monday, 30vis wouldn't close it, 6ft would.

    Perhaps we talked with different divers? Rod & Bill were the ones I talked with.
