    Default so far...

    spoke to ron at dive outpost and viz is about 10-15 feet into the basen and there is pretty good flow, it's appears that it will definately be divable, now it's up to the state to decide, but in speaking with a few other people the conditions have been worse and the park was open to diving so guess its pot luck....

    Default rain?

    Forecast is for rain over the weekend here in North Florida, so Ginnie might be empty? Would people camp out at Ginnie in rain?

    Minimum diving level is 20',but I understand the 10-15' you are getting reported is not present throughout the whole system,in fact some areas are still worse. Also when there is that much of an influx of river water there is also a fair amount of debris that can damage line,block restrictions,so a sight assessment involves more than just standing at the steps looking down.

    Drunk college kids and drunk north Florida rednecks looking for an excuse to drink diring a holiday weekend...Ginnie will be packed, rain or shine.

    Mike,

    Your new avatar is particularly irritating, but I guess that's the idea - right? Your assessment of the Ginnie situation is also correct, especially since the forecast shows decreasing probability of rain throughout the weekend. Maybe everyone should realize that it just isn't a good weekend to cave dive in north central Florida!

    I keep clicking on it trying to squish it...no luck yet!

    Since I only come to Florida during fall & winter, I've never seen Ginnie during tube madness.
    Anybody got any pictures to post?


    Mike
