Subject: Spring Conditions - Suwannee Karst
If you wanna dive this area, get your gear.
River levels continue to drop briskly. No rain
in this area for three weeks. Spring heads are
all supercharged.

Peacock Spring I - Clear and pumping.

Peacock Spring III - NOW is the best time to hit
this one. Usually a syphon, #III is outflowing but
will probably reverse flow later this week. The vis
in here is optimum during the resurgence stage.

Little River - Clear and kicking. A scooter caver on
wednesday was seen suspended, at full throttle, going
nowhere. (Maybe he had a trim problem - heh-heh!)
The steps have been removed by the County and new ones have
been planned for installation soon. The NSS-CDS and NACD have
agreed to another joint project if the County does not come
through.

Ginnie/Devil's Eye - Crystal.

Telford Spring - Still green, one of the last to clear. We see
about 30 ft vis here currently.

Troy Spring - Clearing. Our boat charters for O/W divers resume
next weekend. This one is the first to go under, the last to
recover.

Royal Spring - Nice. Openwater groups are diving this "freebie"
every day. Max depth 55 ft.

All other springs are clear.

For the Artifact Hunters -  Santa Fe vis is at 15 ft and getting
better each day. We should see 50+ in there within a few weeks.
The Suwannee has about 8 ft. vis currently and continues to
drop. The Paleo Boys are showing us some nice pieces this week.

For the tubers: The Ichetucknee is getting back to its blue self.
Go early to avoid the crowds.

Updates to follow on several of the lesser-known dives.

                             D.
