Glad to hear but gonna try Manatee in the morning. Ginnie next weekend and then Peacock should be even better.
Jim, has there been any improvement in the conditions in the OG basin?

I dove Peacock last Saturday and Sunday- OG basin was still very tannic. Vis was in the 10' range, improving to 30'-40' inside the cave. Vis in the P1 surface pool was much better. The Peanut Restriction is definitely tighter- still passable in back mount but the line disappears under a foot of sand for a few feet. Hopefully it'll widen up a bit as more divers swim through it. I think we had the whole place to ourselves all weekend- really enjoyed the dives. The mosquitos on the other hand... not so much! We literally drove out wearing our drysuits.

Isn't that the prettiest thing you ever seen? After so many months of photos showing Peacock slow disappearing it is great to see the water level back to something close to normal. I know we have been getting a fair amount of daily rain here in the Orlando area how about up there? Nice light local afternoon and evening showers?
Those pictures are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
Up to an inch from multiple short showers every day this week in NW Suwannee County.
