How's the Devil System?

[Line Squirrel]

Anybody care to post conditions in the Devil system from this weekend? I am interested in going Monday.

Mike, the mainline is dusky as is the Hill 400, the Bone Room and the Split. Flow's increasing every day while the water level is dropping. It's crystal clear in Sweet Suprise, Mainland and past the Hinkel. Hope this helps....

Safe diving,

Rich

It's been getting better and better. The flow is back to what it has been in the last year or so. The Ear was reopened today.

I just completed my NACD Cave DPV course there with Larry Green. Conditions were good and Larry is a great instructor. I would highly recommend him. Very thorough.

If you can get there anytime soon, do it...and bring your camera!! The dark river water is right over the ear, and the current is swirling in clear spring water. This is the time for those amazing photos that only come along every now and then. The mix of the tannic and spring water give that "water on fire" look. I could have sat at the log and watched all day it was so beautiful.

By the way, congratulations Brian. We talked with you on Saturday. I was the guy with the tattoo sleeves that with the two younger guys. Larry is a great guy for sure!!

Dove Devil's today but the highlight was hanging out on the breather in the run between Ear & Eye with 3 manatees <G>. Awesome, they were rolling over on their side letting me scratch their bellies....very cool!

Mike BE CAREFUL!!! Although they may have the same dimentions as Manatees, it might have been a drunken female tuber! In the tannic water, it's hard to tell...

When I came up out of the eye, I was delighted to be eye to eye with one of the Manatees. I followed it almost to Little Devils where it turned and swam back toward the river. About 10 min. later, I asked a kayaker, who had paddled up to Little Devils, if he had seen the manatees. He laughed and assured me that manatees "never come this far upstream". A perfect illustration of why one shouldn't believe everything one thinks....

Besides that the cave diving was good too, with excellent viz. and typical flow.
