Berman Room 04/08/2008

Jackie and I scootered up to the Hinkle By-Pass Line (2 UV-26's) and then swam it to the Berman Room. Returned via Hinkle. Plan was to hang-out in the BR for about 15-20 minutes (which is what we did)---just crusing around and checking it out. How many times have we all just moved thru this spot quickly on our way to somewhere else?...and this dive confirmed that we have missed a lot! WHAT A GREAT PLACE just to chill and swim around in! The line in the By-Pass needs to be tightened up a bit where it goes overhead..watch out for manifold grabbin phantoms --told Jeff.

Dive Particulars: On the way a safety bottle placed on SBR @ 1800 ft. Both of us breathed our stages down on the ride up and dropped them with the scooters @ 3000 ft. (24 minutes). Went on BG for the rest of the dive. Vis was as far as the light could shine...azure and cobalt blue in many of the areas during the swim. Great time...see all y'all in about 3 weeks!!!

My Honey likes the "moderate train"....I think we had those pups on 6 or 7.

I enjoy dives where I look at the cave from a micro perspective. I have found some outstanding fossils in areas that people blow by.

Hey, how you been?

Haven't talked to you since our JB trip a while ago.

I'm heading back to JB next week, any chance you are going to be in the area?
