Harvey's 3-17-08

[OFG-1]

Greetings

Gerry and I dove Harvey's last night. This is probably the most unpredictable system I dive. The water in the basin had 40' of vis, 25-35 in the turtle passage, but the crystal room was cloudy. Peppermint passage looked clear? Go figure. There are layers of clear blue water in the top of the tunnel. There are cloudy water layers everywhere. The water level was 4' lower than last week. Overall, not too bad for Harvey's.

HOWEVER, some moron has been dicking with the line. It is in the dirt in places, tie offs are moved, and the snap jump to the crystal room is now kinda a tee, and not done well. The big line trap is now worse. Will you guys will please leave existing lines alone unless you get tangled or actually have some idea of how to improve something.

Thanks for the report, nice to know there is something in Tallahassee still divable.

It makes me wonder, i've heard about line committees, but are there some for every cave? Or how would one know how to reach such committees, if we were to see some mess somewhere.....?? Or if we could help somehow.....

Only for the more popular caves. That is one reason we have a forum for line conditions. Just post your concerns there, and someone will direct you to any other interested parties.

There's already a little bit of goldline(1000' I think, left over from relining another sink in Tallahassee) set aside to start relining Harvey's. Obviously it will take more line, and more importantly, some more experienced divers to reline Harvey's Sink. I've offered up my help for that cave before, but my limitations prevent me from really being able to do much... :/
