Recent conditions in Marianna

[sandy]

We plan to dive on the millpond tomorrow. Can anyone give us recent flow conditions at JB or viz at Twin and HITW? In advance, thanks.

I haven't been in them all as recent as I'd like, but no one else seems to be speaking up. Flow in JB is down (for JB, swimming still is tiring, but you don't get instantly launched out of the cavern if you aren't holding on to something). Vis at Twin is excellent, it's the hydrilla getting to the cave entrance that makes it interesting. Vis in HITW is dropping off. Upstream is good (70+) on the goldline but drops fast in the century tunnel, downstream is 40 ft or so for the first 1600 ft of goldline.

Flow is on the way up at JB. I felt a significant difference in it yesterday and other divers were also commenting on not being able to penetrate as far as they had a month ago.

Thanks guys.

We decided to dive HITW (upstream I think - to the right) Viz was about 40 feet to our turn which was at 1100. Flow was non-existent. Weather on the millpond was really nice.
