Jackson Blue without a scooter!

[Sludge]

I was there yesterday, and didn't bring a scooter. The flow is definitely up from a month ago, but not blistering.

I would say go for it. FWIW, I got to 800' on just under a third of a stage 80. (It was my buddy's first dive in over five years and he turned the dive at twenty minutes.)

Have you checked out the side passages in JB? Lots of stuff there out of the flow. There's also Twin with low flow and good conditions. Are you backmount or sidemount?

is a boat needed for JB?

No a boat is not needed although some folks prefer to do it from a boat. It can be a little cheaper that way if you are just doing a day of diving and have 4 folks or so(on one of Edd's boats). A day pass is $25 I believe and then $10 for each day on top of that. This may have changed some though. Annual pass is $150, 24hr/365days a year.

Even if the flow is up some there is plenty of side tunnel to enjoy within the first 1000ft.

Good diving

I heard the viz was about 40 - 50 feet at Jackson Blue. Is this still the case, or has it cleared up?

Is JB accessible by private boat, say from a public boat launch somewhere nearby (and where)? Is check-in still required?

We are backmount, so no Gator hole or the other sidemount stuf in that region. We did Hole in the wall last march but never tried Twin.

Does someone know the hours and days of operation of Cave adventurers during the holydays?

Also, can we get on JB site by land during holliday time? (by checking in at the Sherif office)
