Which system is best to hit on a weekend?

I am thinking Ginnie and Peacock get pretty busy on weekends. Would Little River and Madison Blue be a good weekend option, or are they busy with swimmers too?

Little River and Madison are both really busy on the weekends with swimmers. Better to go to a non-swimmer cave. At least that way it will be busy with people you don't mind hanging out with

If you get there really early in the morning (or also really late night for the Devil's), you can dive any place with little people around.

So the little people are there between dusk and dawn? Are they friendly?

Been able to do some good diving during the weekend at PSSP though, if you don't mind a few other cave divers.

Find something with a long walk(or requires a boat ride) and a lack of park benches, they tend to have less crowds.

I only seen Peacock bad once on weekend. To the point where the parking lot was full.... doesn't happen very often.

Madison is good early morning during "swimming season". I would think it wouldn't be busy on cold winter days.

I dive Ginnie a lot on weekends. Friday night is dead quiet. I was the only one there last Friday.... Kind of cool to know you have got the cave to yourself Sat/Sunday really depends on weather/holiday.

I thought that Madison would be bad on busy weekends - aren't they one of the only ones that actually enforce the "only x number of teams in the system at a time"?
One might go early but if there is a group of several teams just before you, you'd be so out of luck?

We got to Madison about 0915 Sunday before last, and were still the only cave divers there when we left around noon. There were some swimmers there, but not stair-crowdingly bad.

I did see a first (for me) at Peacock that Saturday....swimmers in P1. I'd have preferred they not spread their beach towels, books, shoes, etc ALL the way across the bench while they were swimming, LOL, but I'm sure they just didn't realize, or think about, divers coming out and needing to use the benches. The park wasn't at all crowded, though, and there was plenty of parking and cave space to go around.

Little River is great on weekends if you hit it right as they open the gates. I've dived there after lunch, but had to park in the grass.

Jeff...the little people only appear to those special few, and are impossible to capture on film. I've taken lots of pictures when I see them, but they're never in the resulting image Be sure to let us know when you see them.

Sunday, after 2pm, I was the only cave diver left at Jackson Blue.

As many swimmers as there are there on weekends it's still a VERY convenient dive.

It usually seems to me that no matter how crowded the parking lot and the surface looks, it's a lot less crowded in the caves, especially once you're out of the cavern zone.
