Well, I might look at other plans right now. We just had a storm that is moving through the I 44 coridor and we are to have them all week and nasty one comming tonight.

RBD was diavable 3 weeks ago but with the rain they have gotten it has kept it in poor shape. 3 weeks ago was like maybe JB flow but getting in that smaller opening was harder. Vis about 10-12 with a bunch of milky haze in it.

Wow, that's the exact same time that myself and my buddies are planning to go....what a coincidence, Kyle.....

This site shows flow on the river associated with Roubidoux. As you can see the graph is now turning up, indicating flow is picking up. It might have been divable yesterday, but with all the rain today and predicted, it won't be divable for a while.

Better head to Cannonball if it's divable.

With all the rain we are getting today, with more forecast for this week, I would bet RBD and Cannonball will not be diveable.

Myself and a buddy have plans to dive Mine La Motte (The Offsets) on Friday 5/14, it is not affected much by weather. We dove there last Tuesday and the conditions were great, 10 ft of viz near the entrance, up to 40 ft of viz further in the mine. Temps mid 40's to low 50's.

You are welcome to join us, just let me know if you are interested and we can discuss the logistics.
