Eagles Nest 12/6

I use that as a relative pronoun.

[Sludge]

Hey, who's the grammar cop here?

I was 2500' back, 250' deep and swimming through 5' vis with Beckner. Honestly, I was more focused on survival than water temp, but yes, I would say it was noticeably colder in the tannic.

I trust your have serviced your power inflator? Didnt seem to function properly when we first arrived at the Daisy chain.

And sarcasm is not isolated to the English language. Native speaker or not.

Between diving and complaining about not getting to dive certain caves, James has no time to service useless dive gear like inflator valves.

Wow. Perfect.

Just perfect.

Bob

But in his defense, he may just not know how to use the power inflator.

[Pavão]

I don't know if the situation fits in this case, but when a user's screen name contains a diacritical mark not normally used in English, there's a good chance English is not his/her native tongue. Just sayin'.

Your assertion about the name is correct, it's portuguese, means peacock. I'm originally from Brazil.

[Draker]

Wow. Perfect.

I wouldn't have a need for a power inflator if I could find a decent buddy to dive with who wouldn't turn the dive early...

[floridabob]

Early? We ran 15 minutes longer than our expected runtime and 15 minutes less than the outside.

My God, man!

HOWEVER, I fail to see the correlation.

I will take chance number 3 at Indian on Friday, please.

For some friggin reason.

Caves in Florida, or sections of caves in Florida, that are connected to lakes and ponds turn over (as Sly-vester mentioned). Because of minimal water movement, the primary means of water movement is density variations. In the summer, hot surface waters make the lakes less dense than the underlying cave waters and no lake water enters the cave. In the winter, cooling increases the density of the surface water and flows into the cave along bottom topography - cave water ascends along the roof the cave to the basins to replace descending surface water. Seasonal turnover happens at a number of locations, including low-flow caves in the Mill Pond, Eagle's Nest and Rose Creek Sink (just to name a few examples).

Which is why, in my opinion, Eagle's Nest more often has better visibility in the summer than in the winter - tannic surface water is warmer than the cave water so doesn't seep down into the cave as much. In the winter the dirty surface water is colder and denser than the cave water so it sinks into the cave, so the visibility is frequently poor in the winter.

Now, back to the Draker/Bob lovefest…

Well! I never.

This is something interesting to do whilst I fight with I Tunes to try and recover and reload my Audio Flood. Where I Tunes makes me feel as though "intuitive" is very subjective this reparte is quite fun and predictable.

As a side note, where the tannic was wasnt the deepest portion of our dive. Must have been relative to surface water location and water movement within the cave.?.
