Manatee Conditions?

How are the conditions looking?

Dove it today. Catfish has 30-40 feet in the basin and the mainline was every bit of 25ish with a LM 21HID. Flow is down and swimming to Friedmans is doable. Maybe all you guys are aware of this, but the upline to Sue Sink has been pulled. No mention of NOT surfacing there when we checked in but no line probably says it all. More divers there today than normal but then again, there's not a lot of options for diving right now.

Thanks. I never knew there was an up line at Sues. Has it been there awhile?

Probably for the past 20 years or so and maybe longer than that for all I know. You can see where it was tied to the Gold line and if you up the chimney for a short distance, you can see the tieoff locations where the line used to be.

So who pulled it? And why?

According to the map at Manantee, Sue is an emergency exit only. I have never seen the line that exited Sue. I guess they were trying to discourage divers from exiting it.

Thanks Brent. Guess I need to improve on my cave awareness.
