P1 open yet?

[lunaire]

Anybody got an update of peacock 1? Planning a dive there next week.

Also, anybody want to be the 3rd diver in the dive team is welcomed. Rule of 6th, but we'll dive all day.

Not as of a couple days ago. Not estimate on the last couple of trees that need pruning. It will be opened as quickly as governmentally possible. So maybe 2025.

It’s not open, as of Wednesday. Last I heard from Nick Brown was that they are getting close but just don’t know when it will be done - it depends on the contractors’ availability and on FEMA, they’re having to document everything and it’s slow-going.

Head’s up, though, dive Orange Grove while you can - once Peacock reopens they are planning to close Orange Grove (temporarily) to replace the stairs.

I went to OG a few weekends ago and it was a total crap shoot - no parking spaces anywhere and a quite large OW crowd. I paid $4 to turn around....

and a quite large OW crowd.

Troy is a much, much better spot for them, too.

I think I saw a report that it was still browned out.

 

[Rilelen]

Yes, I stopped by Troy on Wednesday - it is still browned out, with “no swimming” signs posted. Water is over the deck and a little ways up the ramp…

It would relieve a lot of pressure on OG if Troy and Royal would reopen. (Royal has cleared but steps are closed for repairs, so no real dive access).

Any updates? Would not mind hitting P1 in early April...

 

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

Not open as of 3/16/2024.

Is P3 also still closed?
