Yes, I'm very familiar with those numbers. I usually mix 31% for swim dives.

How do you feel about scootering 96ffw?

A while back I posted a thread on here, Why not 30% vs. 32%. I guess most shops bank 32% because its popular [nitrox1] and 36% being [nitrox 2] but not popular in cave country. I applaud the banking of 30 for safety.

Water is to the top two steps at Ginnie. Curtain is holding back the river madness however it probably won't last till tomorrow if river levels continue to rise much. Vis was great in Devils though, 100+ from eye to hill 400.
Duncan said they'd probably close it to diving tomorrow.

Water only two steps down now


Curtain holding river of muck back


Water's almost above the close stairs

This is exactly what the springs needed. Well maybe not Ginnie but parts of the river were drying up and hopefully this will help the aquafer.

Expecting six more feet of water at Ginnie by Saturday morning, according to the Water Management District gauges. The good news is that it will start dropping right away. We really need this in the long run!

yeah, you know it's getting too hot to dive dry down there anyway Should be nice come Oct !

Ginnie is closed to diving. See their facebook: https://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnm...s/369665536788

Manatee is currently open to cave diving, but they expect they will close as the river rises. Their criteria for closing is dark water in the basin.

As far as diving at ppo of 1.2 I think GUE changed there standards a few years back and I know NAUI was thinking of doing the same. All my trimix dives on the ship wrecks of the great lakes are done at 1.2
