    You are getting this info second hand, [I wasn't there] so take it for what it's worth:

    Flow is way up. It was described as 70% of what The Ear is typically like. No pull & glide. More pull & Pull.

    Vis was reported at 20ft.

    I don't think they got very far...pretty sure they called it early with the high flow/lo vis and went somewhere more friendly.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    I was there Monday. Yes, very high flow w/ 15 to 20 ft vis. Huge amounts of sand burying the gold line several feet deep in spots. Over 20 minutes to get to HH, and about 5 minutes to get out.... Also worth mentioning after all the high water, is the mega swarms of mosquitoes

    I was there today & made 2 dives - up the main line to the half hitch & then to the Godzilla room.

    The lines were buried in several sections, one section as deep as 3 feet deep and 20 linear feet of line. We uncovered the ones we ran across. LOTS of debris on the lines, railroad cars full of sand everywhere. Visibility was about 40 feet MAX.

    Flow is kicking -- almost as much as when you enter Devil's ear.

    Going in the Rabbit Hole is much easier than the main entrance.
