    Well...the first day it opened there was a group of 40 cavern students from . The vis in the cavern zone was great until they got in the water. What a cluster. They were dropping like bowling balls to the bottom that haden't been touched for months. Guess what happened. Ken

    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

    Default OG

    Mike and I dove it this morning: Flow is noticiable and my estimate of viz. would be 40' in the basin and 50'+ in the cave. Our bubbles created a noticiable rain of flocculants from the ceiling, but not a big deal. Old handprints and fin marks are still there although maybe filled in a little. Viz. in the cavern and basin decreased dramatically once a huge cavern class got underway.
