Dove Orange Grove, Peacock I, Royal Spring & Little River Spring.
Orange Grove - Bad visibility above the thermocline at around 35 feet. Increasingly clear below that. Lots of dead trees down in the cavern at 50-60 ft. Someone get rid of these! Haha. Cavern goes down to 90ft+. Set your dive computer for the gas you are using and carefully watch your NDL. It was fun and felt like Indiana Jones coming up through all the green scum at the surface. Surface is entirely covered by some kind of weird green scum / micro leaf plant.
Peacock I - Beautiful clarity. Easy to lose daylight so keep an eye on the entrance and don't go too far unless cave trained! We spent over an hour on one dive in here exploring around all within daylight zone, watching our air, NDLs etc... Amazing. Great place to practice your buoyancy and trim and skills in my opinion.
Royal Spring - Zero visibility both in the basin and the cavern entrance. Do not enter the cavern. Extremely dangerous. We spent 5 minutes and left. Tons of rescue diver training scenarios happening there. Madhouse.
Little River - Beautiful clarity. Tree somewhat blocking entrance. Maybe a good thing to keep people out. Watch out for cave students practicing laying line. Keep an eye on the daylight and don't go too far in unless cave trained!
