After a summer of much rain, yesterday was my first day diving\/guiding in Indian Springs since late May. Indian is my fav cave, so this was a super exciting day!<\/p>\n

I’d say conditions were 5-7′ of tannic vis down to 75′ (as long as you don’t kick up the bottom which is a bit fluffier right now than normal). Ambient light at 20′. Single gold line in cavern, in good condition, bullhorn still at ~20′.<\/p>\n

Deco communication with team easy, without getting in each other’s faces. Yellow\/green below that and tint\/vis improves as go down Mud Tunnel towards T. Mud Tunnel is indeed wall-to-wall vis, but milky. Upstream to 1400′ and Downstream to middle of 3rd room are 80-100′ vis, but milky. Clear, but not quiet yet blue. Some strange swirleyness in cavern, but otherwise no noticeable flow.<\/p>\n

Here are some more pictures, quick shots take with no video lights. Overall I think the camera made the lower vis areas look less yellow\/brown and the upstream portion look bluer than appeared to naked eye.<\/p>\n
