    Default Peacock 1 and Orange Grove 4/1

    Finished up my Aprentice Training today. Woohoo !

    Morning Dive
    Simple traverse from Orange Grove to challenge. Flow was noticeable. Viz was 40', pretty green, with some particulate. Temp was 69 degrees.

    Afternoon Dive
    Simple traverse from Peacock 1 to Olsen Sink. Flow was also noticable. Viz varied from 15 - 20' with plenty of particulate. Temp was 68 degress. On the trip back the team ahead of us totally trashed the viz all the way out. Viz was 5 - 10'. Saw numerous spots where the line was buried. Also had plenty vegetation caught on the line in numerous places. Excellent training though. This dive was a little "spooky" with the crappy viz.

    Congratulations for finishing, especially under low viz conditions.

    I was deprived the priviledge of being raised in great viz so from that perspective, 5 to 10 inches is potentially challenging, 5 to 10 feet is just "viz" or "good viz" or ine situations "excellent viz".

    And 5 to 10 inches is still way better than lights out no viz. But 5 to 10 ft does reinforce the need to stay aware of the line and the navigational cues.
