I made my first dive at Ginnie today. First we dove Ginnie and explored the cavern a little. It is a pretty cool hole. Then we went to the Devil's Eye System. I am just OW with no cavern or cave training. I must say there is nothing to see there unless you are going to go into the cave. I was pretty dissappointed. That made me what to get more training because it looked like there was lots to be explored in that underground rivers system. But for now I do not think I will return until I can go into the cave some.

I will be doing the Blue Grotto and Devils Den tomorrow. I am looking foward to both of those.

Drifting the river from Devils Eye to the main basin is very cool. Key: Stay totally negative ride the bottom and look around for fossils.

Peace

The vis in the river was like 1-2 feet so we decided to not drift down.

Did you pop your head in the tannic water or estimate? We dove the river Saturday and there was 5-10' of visibility. It was dark and had one hellova red hue to it, but fairly clear - bring a light. Ran into some Bowfin and Gar during the trip lots of big ugly prehistoric lookin fishies!
