    How does Peacock blow? Unless of course the river floods it banks and actually floods the whole area?

    The obvious way for it to flood is water coming up the slough and cause the spring to reverse. The last flood was unique in that the system went brown and the spring run was dry. There are tannic vents from the river to the spring,such that you'll see a few spots in the cave go black,while the rest of the cave is good-sign of impending doom. You could have Peacock blow this time by the same mechanism.

    Interesting, I didn't know there was a direct connection to the river.

    This is the way you're thinking it floods: The paved road from Dive Outpost towards Peacock a few years ago.

    Rebreathers are something that we have to go to in order to dive the way we want to dive. They are not something we go to for any other reason.

    I didn't dive it but there was very definite flow going from P2 to P3 through the rock channel this morning. P1 and P3 are duck weed covered, but P2 looked very clear.

    The gate at Little River was locked. Royal was blue (no, don't dive there, silly!) Troy looks like great coffee. Jug was clear and gorgeous.

    Both CHIPOLA and APALACHICOLA are under a River Flood Warning. The Chipola was at 14ft today but expected to reach 27ft by Fri. The Apalachicola is currently at 17ft but expected to reach 21ft by Wed.

    Ugh. Ironic how a wet spell for the weather makes a dry spell for us.

    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
