And RBD is?

[do it easy]

Roubidoux Springs in Waynesville, MO. It's a little cave with water flowing out of it. There's nothing to see out there, unless you bring a light. :D

It's still there.

If that doesn't work out and you want to play at TRL, I could make it down.

If it does work out for RBD, let me know and I will probably drop down to pick up my regulators if I can talk you into bringing them with you.

Also, anyone that would be interested in cavern skills practice, let me know. We could probably go in after the cave teams and not be in their way.

Cavern divers are ALWAYS in the way of Cave Divers! They spoil everything.

Only joking. Can't dive this weekend, so I have to amuse myself with bad jokes. Would make good jokes if I had the talent.

Sounds like a plan buba. If I dont get any takers tonight or tommorow bye noon, I will plan a dive Saturday at TBL. I can only dive Saturday so if a one day trip will work for you then not a problem.

[mike b]

I,ll go, what did you have in mind?

[SLIM]

Cool sounds like 9 am at RBD, I waas going to plan maybe 1 dive to 1000' deco 50 and 100. and maybe a second oh to what ever you like to do.

I hve not gotten any special BG so I would be on air. Might have some 20/30 I have to go and dig out and check.

WHat do you think MB?

SLIM

[mike b]

Sounds good to me. Keep in mind that Roub has been flowing pretty good here lately the lower tunnel may be hard to get into. Either way I will be there at 9am.

[SLIM]

See you there, got 23% and will bring 50/100 for deco and see what it will let us do.

Buba, you see that, if you like you can stop bye and if you meet us there at 9 maybe get a cavern dive in when we are decoing. After you get your regs.

SLIM

[scububa]

Yeah, it'd be tuff to do that before I got the regs. I'll be there. No big deal if it doesn't work out for me to dive. I'd call Ryan, but he has been commuting back and forth to Cincinnati for work during the week and I am sure between being away from home and all the driving, he won't be able to work it in.

See you guys at 9:00.

[scububa]

Well, I made the drive down, pickup up my newly serviced regs and had the pleasure of meeting mike b and diving with him and SLIM. Great weather and always a pleasure and a lesson to get in the water with great divers.

I continue to amaze at how smooth and natural guys like SLIM, theskull, and mike b go about this business.

I got in the water with them after their first dive, so I'll let them report on the conditions as they, naturally, saw more than I did. I will say that the flow was visibly less (going by the surface boil) during the second dive that it was when they went in the first time and I still had a mighty struggle to get in. And, it was my first time in an overhead with doubles.

Thanks, gents.

Had 2 great dives in RBD. First was with MikeB, been about a year since I have been diving with him and was a great time. On this dive had about 20 foot of vis thorugh out the system, made it back to the 900' marker and we called the dive since we knew we would do another one with Buba and that we would not rack up to much deco in the warm cool water of RBD.

Second dive Buba came with us and we played around the cavern zone for some time and got to look around and take some time that I normally miss and go right on bye. Felt like the flow was down just a small amount from the first dive.

Had 2 great dives and a great warm SI to warm back up with. It has been some time since I had been in RBD and felt great to see some of the good ole cave.
