PSSP Condition?

[jeandiver]

Several people have mentioned to watch the rain gauges. What is the breaking point for a place like Peacock. Which gauge do you watch for that system and at what level does the system reverse?

Trying to figure out if its worth trying to dive there tomorrow.

I think Peacock is safe for tomorrow

Jean is right about tomorrow, but it is more the rise, and rate of rise that are the issues. Caves flood at different river levels, depending on how "full" the aquifer is before the rise begins.

However , that being said , it's a comin down da river

So the end of April is not a good time to try to sneak a dive in during a short trip to the west coast?

How does June generally look?

I am new to this so please be patient

For those of you more knowledgable than me, we were planning to dive Ginnie tomorrow and PSSP on Sunday. Should we reverse our order? I have been keeping up with the river levels from a flooding standpoint but do not know how the "below flood" levels relate to dive conditions.

Thank you for your help.

I'd reverse the order, just to be safe.

Agreed ... probably good thing

P.S. I hope you PanHandlers are OK ... GADS , I pulled up the storm loop rain totals and EEK!!!!!

yay for aquifer replenishment, boo for blow outs, yay that it's this week & not last!

yay for aquifer replenishment

Not really...Florida needs steady rain not spot rain/flooding; Florida needs several good hurricanes to sit on us for a few days. The aquifer in South Central Florida is incredibly damaged -- Weeki Wachee is now at the level it was in July, 2007. Lowest levels since data recording began (60 years ago).

We've gotten tons of rain, but there are still options thankfully
