Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum.
Who shocked Peacock?
I heard the rumor which may explain the sudden clarity of the basin about a month or so ago.
I heard that rumor too.
I'm not sure but wasn't there a report of horrible mosquitoes a month ago also? I didn't get assaulted by hordes of mosquitoes at Peacock yesterday as I was expecting. Maybe they are related?
The basin was crystal clear this morning. You could see all the way to the bottom and not a single mosquito bite the whole time.

The cavern didn't look that great,I would sure wonder about a turnover. I have seen caves like Indian in the period of a few days, have a crystal clear basin,and the cavern be very poor due to a fall turnover.

P1 looked a lot nicer Sunday morning after a chilly Sat. night, not great yet but there was definate improvement overnight. I worked three days and had no mosquitos the whole time.
Safe diving,
Janet
Could that have been because you have had all of your blood sucked out over the last few months? Have you been eating a lot of garlic, and they just don;t like you anymore?

the truth, finally told
The reason the P1 basin cleared, is because i peed in it at the end of my dive. All life in the basin was shocked and died instantly.
As thick as your wetsuit is its a wonder it ever finds its way out.What is it 9 or 11mm?.The mosquitos are rare now due to the cooler temps and not much rain.I know,Ive been bowhunting since late September.Evenings still bring out a few.
