I read about that about a month ago. How was it? Was it just a big deep hole?

I dove Guy-James cave in Tennessee. Viz was incredible, far more than I've ever seen in 10 years of diving this system. At least 50 feet in most places, although one place (for about 150 feet) was milky blue, like late night fog on the highway, and like said fog, equally unpenetratable by light. I ok'd the line and enjoyed the sensation of swimming in bluish milk. It was 43 feet deep max, 19 average, 78 minutes, 2200 penetration (of nearly a mile of currently known penetration and more to go?). Flat and horizontal, jagged and vertical, up and down, bone passage, camel back, runway one, the narrows and left jag drop to runway two..., zig-zag, right triangle rock, and left rise...then on into the M&M conduit (Marbry & Mike, who found it), until thirds. I placed two cookies (Skip written on them) on the mainline where side passages appeared in this most excellent viz. First one to the left, second one to the right. can now go back and do the jumps even if viz sucks (as it usually does; 10-15 feet).

Crawford led, Steve was middle man, and I was last, in the play position...swimming around way off the line as their lights showed me the way ahead.

14 southern cavefish (1/2 inch to 3-inch), over 50 crafish (1-inch to 8-inches), but only one isopod/remepede. bright white and crawling just out of reach of the cavefish - i think my presence interrupted a prey-predator relationship.

Last week I dove Truk Lagoon with my meg, ridiculously long bottom times and awesome wrecks. The week before we were in Guam diving there too....

Dive safe,

I dove it OC. This guy is still pretty green so I didn't want to bring the breather.

27%
100 min dive
5 min's deco on back gas
105 run time
Both of us brought an AL40 each for safety bottles.

Nemo 33 is an enclosed multi-level, spring fed swimming pool including a cylinder in one corner that drops from about 33' to 112'. It also had a room that created an overhead environment. This URL has some nice pictures to give you a perspective of the site: http://www.anvari.org/cols/Deepest_P...the_World.html.

Did the Manta Ray night dive off the Kona coast of Hawai'i last night. Amazing!
