Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum.
The Suwannee has crested as far south as Rock Bluff, but not at Manatee. It doesn't appear that it will get into the parking lot, so it should stay open.
We were tippy toeing on that concrete slab when we arrived, but by the time the picture was taken, we could stand on it, but that could have been tidal...

Here we are gearing up for our first dive on 3/7, standing on the concrete platform. Quite a difference in water depth!

It was good seeing you at Manatee yesterday Tom.

Are you able to dive from Catfish to the head spring? I know the head is brown but can you make the dive.

It wouldn't be a good idea in any case. The line ends before the exit, and we usually depend on seeing daylight to get out of the cave. The water will be close to 40' deep at the exit now, and there won't be any daylight with that much tannic water over it.Originally Posted by bpcfire1
Ok thanks. Wasn't sure if it was mixing in the cave or not. Just would be cool to see, but no worries won't be doin that.
Not at this time. The head spring was closed--so no traverse from Catfish....

According to EE's Facebook page it has started to slowly syphon.
It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
hmmmm.... James, can I push you in and see how long it takes to shot you out and how high??
