    Default Spool

    Similarly, I left a spool from the Crossover to Dark Water Tunnel just before the flood. If it is still there and someone wants to pull it and let me know it would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Default Peacock Conditions

    Tj and I dived Peacock 1 this afternoon. We went up the Peanut Line, through the Crossover Tunnel, peeked into the Dark Water Tunnel, and over to Olsen Sink. We then exited via Mainline, checking out the side tunnels.

    On route, we cleaned off the lines (some looked like something from a haunted house!), and checked placements. When we got to Pothole, we saw that all the deer bones had been washed away We did a search in the area, and found five of them, and put them back up on the ledge, but no sign of the skull

    Throughout our dive visibility ranged from 20-30 feet, a bit better than Manatee Springs usually is. There was some particulate on the floors in places, but this is heavy and settled quickly. At one point there were more than seven divers (three teams) in the same passage and again on deco in the cavern. The whole cavern was lighted up by the sun.

    Is Peacock open to Intro divers at this point, or any idea when it will be?

    My guess would be a couple of weeks after the river starts to go back down. Hopefully by the 4th of July.

    Sounds like intro is allowed now as long at you feel comfortable with the vis.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    I saw that in the original post, but I also saw a picture of the sign posted at Peacock that said open to full cave only.

    This is the picture of the sign posted. I assume that refers to everyone lower than Full Cave

    The question is, to me, what constitutes "Full Cave," since no agency currently issues a certification with that title?
