Trip report: Lower Orange Grove

[saturation]

We were there Friday, 5/7/10. It was crystal clear past 20' in the basin, and crystal clear inside 'lower lower orange grove.' We did notice that in the circular area the split going straight did bury into the silt, so we went right, and it was clear and then began to tighten; so we 180 deg it and returned the same way.

My buddy noticed the cave was syphoning. The small silt trails we left entering that area cleared up after we had passed, and we followed the silt down to the depths, and stopped when we were at max depth for our gas.

I didn't realize it got much deeper here, so we cut light trimix only to 160, and it seemed the lower sections hit near 180', as reported on tampadiving.com

BTW, how long has the toy pirate skull been in the entrance to LLOG? It was my first time here, but the skull just sits there, so it must remain relatively undisturbed for some time.

I noticed it when I was there about three weeks ago.....

Cave trash or decoration?

If it isn't on the map, it is trash.

You people would probably pull the jack-o-lantern wearing a hockey mask I saw one Halloween, sitting on Table Rock at Little River.

That's not another memorial, is it?
