Beautiful system. Large passageways. Made it to the large vertical fissure at 1000 ft and went a little ways on the deeper section til I turned. Took the DPV from JB to access this site. |

Had the pond to myself, so I went to Twin instead of battling JB. Viz was consistently 50’ but opened up a bit in the training room. Plenty of catfish and crawfish up front. |

Vis was pretty consistent as we ran the circuit thought the hole in the floor, and circled back around. |

very good visibility, very slight flow. Lots of catfish, a few white crawfish. No salamander sightings. Surface temp 90-95F but OK with the breeze. |

Viz was outstanding, and a slight flow was present. We did the deep section and took a jump for a nice swim until turnaround time. |

Nice dive! Turned at 1000' but viz was great in and out. |

Viz started out crystal. A training class had exited a little before we got in and the silt was stired up from Skyles Passage back to about 750p where we turned on ever degrading viz. |

Visibility was zero in the basin due to a training class that'd just exited. Once I found the left entrance by feel, I poked my head into the cavern and the visibility immediately cleared and I saw the gold line. Visibility averaged a nice 30' at least through the deep circuit. |

Dove the main line and deep circuit, where I found a red arrow floating on the ceiling (it's mine now). Much more vegetation in the entrance compared to 3 months earlier. Low flow with 50-70' visibility. Ran a primary from the log only to see (and remember) the mainline starts about 6" from OW. |

Spent 2 days diving in Twin, first day we dove the subway tunnel to the T circuit , all was clear including the deep section. Today we dove again, very nice with minimal to no flow. |

Beautiful dive with lots of life (salamanders, etc.). Great viz with no noticeable flow. Took the T going down at 1000'. Incredible system! |

Scooter to the end of the Subway Tunnel and dropped scooters. We swam through the Training Room and towards the Dog House Restriction. Viz was cloudy and 15' throughout the entire dive. Flow was only discernible at the entrance. |

This was the predominant viz throughout the system today, with perhaps some 35' area just prior to the Terminal Room. Temp was 67*-68*F. Flow is barely discernable. |

Visibility was 30' in the cavern zone. I am only cavern certified so I only shined my light down into the cave zone and it appeared to only be 20' of visibility from where I could see. Although I am unaware if it clears a ways back or not. |

The above viz is predominant everywhere in the system. We were in both the Terminal and Training Rooms. Flow is negligible, temp is 68*F. Hydrilla is not a problem. |

Twin was gorgeous as always. A little bit of Hydrilla in the entrance. Visibility was 100 all the way back to the deep section and through the deep section. |

Hydrilla is starting to choke the entrances, but you can still get in. Visibility in the first couple hundred was milky, but cleared to 60' and blue by 400'p or so. |

Deep sections were done today. Excellent cave conditions, temp 68*F. Hydrilla plants are very thick between the platform and the cave entrance, as well as in the entrance itself. It is difficult to get to and find the cave entrance. |

Cave is very clear right now, both in the subway as well as the deep section. Slight positive flow, only enough to be noticable if you are looking for it. |

Checked out Twin but very silty and then got completely blown by a scooter team, slow to clear. We never entered the cavern or cave.

Conditions are decent in the subway tunnel. Didn't head to the deep section, instead tried out a jump earlier in the system - can't comment on vis in the deep section. |

Visibility in the cavern and subway tunnel had tannic intrusion and was hazy. The water started clearing up once you hit the deep section though. |

Dove on 1/31 and 2/1, visibility was good, flow seems to be up, as it was actually noticable(although still very low flow). Visibility consistant from entrance to the "T" past the Terminal Room in the deep section. |

All clear, no murky spots in the subway or deep section(atleast throughout the circuit), no thermoclines, and(suprisingly) no catfish stirring crap around. |

Lesser visibility in the first 500' where the majority of the catfish traffic was located. Ton of catfish in there right now... Back half the subway tunnel was 50', maybe better. Deep section had 30-40' vis. |

Hydrilla has been dredged from the pond and Edd snagged the rest from between the entrances and platform, so its an easy transit. Visibility is great. |

Min temp of 67* F, deep section had the low viz. The gold line starts on the right side of the cave, mid height, about 30' after dropping down the first vertical drop. About 100' of primary line should reach from open water. |

First time in there, scootered down the main tunnel and dropped them. Did a little swim to the right, turned and went to the left. Nice cave, saw the salamanders for the first time. Viz was around 70 |

Did a great scooter dive. We went to the equidistant arrows and made the jump to the right and went to the top of the big dome room. Flow was light but positive. |

Did the first T circuit, temp 68*, very low flow. Someone has laid about 20' of white cave line from the beginning of the gold line back toward the entrance. |
