    Default Magnitude 3 spring?

    As I've posted in my other thread there are several magnitude 3 springs on the island of Puerto Rico. I think there are several popular magnitude 1s in cave country that we've all dived and trained in as a frame of reference. Can anybody point me to a Magnitude 3 that would be familiar to the general cave diving populace? I can only think of sinks and Peacock that would be lower flow than Ginnie, Madison, Manatee, etc... It is looking better and better that I may have a gig there for at least a little while not sure how long but I will know more this week.

    According to Wiki, Peacock is a magnitude 3 spring, also Royal.

    Check with the PR Speleological Society SEPRI. They have a cave diving section. Caves in PR are of difficult access and mostly sumps. It's being raining a lot in the Island and visibility could be an issue.
    At least you can do lots of shore diving specially in the west side of the Island.

    I am in process of relocating now and will reach out to as many groups here as I can. I am shooting for permanently living here in PR sometime in January.
