After some trials and tribulations, we made it to Luraville yesterday. We detoured through High Springs and stopped at Salvo's. I wasn't as lucky as "the skull", my credit card did not make it out without damage. We were beat from the trip and did not dive yesterday.

Dived Orange Grove early this morning and Peacock I later in the morning. Good vis and almost no flow at either location. Going back to Peacock I for an afternoon dive. More to come.

What treasures did your unlucky credit card afford you at Barry's?

Made the trip over to Ginnie Springs today. Thanks to Slim and the door prizes at the Midwest Social, we had free passes and put them to good use. Thanks Slim.

We may head over to Madison tomorrow. More later.

Yeah, we had a large time, however, we changed our plans and went to LR this morning; I think I have a new "favorite" cave. Flow wasn't bad and the vis was good. We're going to do it again.

I love Little River! Especially the ride back out--drift diving at its best.

We got up yesterday morning and squeezed in a 92 min dive in Pecock I using both tunnels to limit our penetration; after an uneventful 11 hour drive we made it home.

We got in 9 dives in our 4.5 days. LR was the only cave we dived that we had not been in before. Never made it to Madison.

Good conditions for the whole trip except for a cold front; we ended up diving in our drysuits.

We got some good experience and got to do more sightseeing than during our class last summer.

You just need to learn to plan the dives at the right time to hook up with us. We might even include you in the annual night dive in telford

Sounds like fun. I think I would like to celebrate the New Year in a underwater cave.
