Jeff and I did the grand traverse yesterday, Wednesday (December 10), at Peacock from Orange Grove to P1. Wonderful conditions. Water was up to the first step in Orange Grove. Cavern in Orange Grove was so clear, you could see the log (where everyone ties a reel) from the surface. Conditions were great throughout. The viz in the cavern at P1 was the best I have seen.
One comment: the main line at 750 feet from Orange Grove is about to break. The outer sheath is gone, and only 3 inner threads holding the line together. I’d hate to see that line break.

I sent this information to Jim Wyatt who will get it to the line safety committee. Although, the 3 inner threads are really all that form the line. The outer sheath just protects them. It should still hold for quite sometime. I'm sure someone will get in there to patch that section, though.

I heard PSSP closed late in the week. And Madison and Little River. Say it ain't so! We are heading down on the 18th-21st.
Thanks, Butch

We dove there Friday the 12th (Pothole to Cisteen and back) and the vis was pretty nice, better in the Pothole tunnel, less so in Cisteen but still doable. Dove the Peanut line the 11th and vis was about as good as I've seen. That being said, there was a lot or rain early Thurs am which may be affecting vis by now.
Dove Lower Orange on 12/12, the vis was good in the basin (could have been better if not for the two dozen open-water divers). In the cave vis was excellent and a big thanks to whoever relined that system.
Thanks everybody this gives me hope. Even though I enjoy Ginnie I really enjoy PSSP.
