Did anyone dive Morrison this weekend? It looks like the river levels are back to "normal" but I just wanted to see if anyone has reports. I plan on diving there tomorrow if the vis is good.
 
I dunno if it'll be blue, but it should be atleast a decent green color with 20-30' of visibility. Thats just a guess from the water levels, I didn't dive it.
 
thanks Mat, that's what I figured. Good seeing you at JB this weekend.
 
It was very clear saturday morning. Could see all the way down to the cavern from the dock. .. Unfortunately the sheriffs dept claimed there was a new lock on the gate and they could not open it..I was gonna try and get in a dive but just wasnt worth the effort.
 
Who in the crap is in charge of the gate? If the Sheriff's Dept is in charge, why don't they have a key? The people running that joint are totally unorganized.
 
I took in a student for some training on Saturday. The vis at the start of the day was > 50ft. better over the boil. Looks clear blue in the shallower areas near the platforms.

The gate to the close parking was closed and locked, but the gate for entering as a pedestrian was open. We walked in with our gear from the outer parking lot. There were alot of swimmers.

Other divers dropped by after a couple of hours.

Vis dropped in localized areas, but cleared within 15 minutes.

went on sunday and again today. The spring is crystal clear.
 
So i take it that if you arrive at sunrise the gate is guaranteed to be locked? plan on being down there in a few weeks and doing a sunrise dive before others show up. Havent been to morrison since 1991. Glad it has reopened, sad may have to carry the gear from the next county to get to the water.
