Has anyone dived JB since the storm?
Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum.
Jackson Blue Conditions?
Has anyone dived JB since the storm?
Not me. I got a dive in on Monday, then the bottom fell out. I'd be interested to hear too. The soonest I can get back in there is Friday.

Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.
Today the vis was about 20-30 foot and the flow is the highest I have seen yet.

The ride out is.....Thrilling!
What you are saying is on the ride out it might be wise to wear a hard hat.

I went this afternoon. The conditions are.......sporting.
Back to the old days when 3rds got you to the first T. I did a dive there a couple weekends ago,and while doing deco I watch two people on scooters get blown out of the cavern 3 times. Many people haven't seen real high flow there,and they plowed right down the center of the passage in the highest part of the flow,with much difficulty. When the cave is pumping,even DPV divers need to read the cave,and look for low flow spots.

In mid April, before the recent storm, the flow was so high that if you ran a Viper on speed 2, you weren't going much faster than swimming speed, between the 2nd breakdown, and the 1st T. If it is flowing faster now, a Viper would probably not be moving at all on speed 2.
