    Default Peacock 1

    First dive was in P1 down the Peanut line. Vis was about 50 ft or more. There some milky patches but nothing that hampered vis. In the large domes, there is tanic river water in the tops of them. Makes for a pretty cool surprise if you ascend up into them. Vis goes to 1ft. We stayed on the mainline the entire time. Thanks Bobby and Xenia for the awesome experience.

    Second dive was P1 on the oppisite line. Vis was around 40ft and had some particles floating through out the entire dive. We went all the way to Olsen to the break in the line. Looks like the restriction got smaller but maybe not. Dive was good. Lots of lil baby fish swimming around. The temp ranged from 68-72in various areas. Thanks to JamesK for a great dive.

    JUST REMEMBER THE POT HOLE EXIT IS CLOSED.

    The dive was a blast! I love those 85's! I watched the video and tons of floaty particles were whipping by us the whole time. Bad enough that the video lights just caused massive back scatter even being over a foot away from the camera. Not much usable. Oh well. I wish we would have had more time to head down Peanut a little bit.

    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.

    Brandon,
    We had a good time diving with you, thanks for joining up and diving with us. When I went up in the tanic on the ceiling it was interesting that some of it came down with me. As I dropped out of it I did not see the floor until I almost crashed into it. Xenia and I did the Cisteen, Wishbone, Crypt line then back through Olsen the day before. Some of the Wishbone and Crypt was exceptionally clear. The odd thing is that we have the tanic in the ceilings and the duck under on the Wishbone that normally has tanic on the floor has none right now.

    Anyway good dives and thanks again for diving with us.

    I suspect that has something to do with the temp of the tanic water. The tanic water that is usually on the floor of the Wishbone is also cooler. Was the tanic on the ceirling warmer? If so, it is held up by a lsoight thermocline, and no wonder it "falls" down with you.

    Reminds me of Mike's room! Just that clear viz was on top. I agree with Fw. Guess tannic water is from flood where it pushed the warmer river water in and now rises. Low flow probably builds a thermocline that seperates this water from the fresh colder spring water which stays below.
