    Awesome Weekend at Jackson Blue!!

    We spent a wonderful two days of diving at Jackson Blue on Saturday and Sunday. Our group started with Stasia(cmufieldhockey) Dave(mos11) Glen(GlenFWB) Josh(Shagman) Mat(BugMan) and myself. Joining us on Saturday was John(Cave Diver) and Fairley.
    Our group consisted of divers in various levels of training from cavern all the way to rebreathers. We all paired with our divers from our respective levels of training and proceeded to have some awesome dives and fellowship.
    On Saturday I met Rob(Dive-aholic) and Jen as they picked up Mat for their journey. Their trip report is located at Holmes Creek report

    On Sunday we also saw Aletheia(diverdeva) Ernest(ernestleejr) Gary(Gary's Gulf Coast Divers) John(DM) Marcie and Steve.

    Glen, Josh and Mat got some awesome pics and I know they will be sharing them.

    Dave and I are intro cave so we paired up and although Stasia is full cave she went with us on alot of our dives to offer her expertise. We did a total of 6 dives, 3 on each day. I completed my 22nd cave dive on this trip and everything is finally beginning to feel more comfortable. I was able to control my buoyancy much better even in the flow. The frog kicks are feeling more natural and the reel wasn't nearly as difficult. Our longest dive was 50 minutes with a depth of 51ft. Our deepest dive was 95ft for a total of 35 minutes.

    It was great to see everyone again!! There were alot of SBer's out for such a warm winter weekend and the diving was awesome!!

    Jackson Blue, day 1 Josh's pics

    OK, here's day one... I'll let somebody else post boring trip details, here's some pics of day 1!

    full gallery of 91 pics for day 1 is here: Image Gallery | 20090103-JacksonBlue | 1 of 91 | IMG_0540.JPG


    Firstly, I'd like to introduce you to the ambassador of Jackson Blue, the elite of the elite, tada! I wanna grow up to be just like you, buddy.



    "What the heck does this button do?"



    The obligatory entrance shot



    hey, I'm taking a picture of you, taking a picture of me, taking a picture of you, taking... woah, brain freeze...



    This is Bob.



    See Bob run!

    Herding fish between us



    It's Bob again! He was stupid enough to come out and graze again, caught him on our way back. He's pissed now.



    Look, there's a brim over there! No really, RIGHT OVER THERE!

    Shangri-La day 2 Josh's pics

    Full gallery here (24 pics):
    Image Gallery | 20090104-Shangri-La | 1 of 24 | IMG_0872.JPG


    OMG, it's Bob's dad!



    How many bass do you see in this pic!



    This cavern is so awesome



    Proof that yes, indeed, I did run line unsupervised by a cave diver!!!



    I'd have to lose some weight to squeeze in down there



    This is a combination shot... firstly reinforcing the awesomeness of Shangri-La, and secondly reaffirming that I did in fact run a reel!

    I think they were warming their wings... whatever it was, it was creepy!




    Hi Glen!




    Busy day at the office




    Love that huge air pocket




    This would have been an OK shot, but Mat wore his devil-eyes this dive




    Denise shows us her mastery of the reel




    aww, it's love at first sight... actually I think there was something about "ox-tox" isn't that something you order at a chinese place?




    traffic jam! I think this was just before the guy in the doubles smashed into Glen




    yeah, I know these are blurry, but I liked the way they turned out anyway




    Glen busy with macro shots with the entrance in the background





    love this one, yeah, it's blurry, so sue me




    coming through!




    Glen, concentrate!!

    I think he's about to land on a carrier, hooks down, he's just looking for a line to catch and bring him to a stop.

    Great photos! Thanks for the report. Great to finally meet a few new people this weekend...Denise and Glen. Hopefully, we'll all get a chance to dive sometime soon. But when new cave is calling...I have to go!

    If you think it's okay to dive in a cavern or cave without the appropriate training, watch the videos on this web page: Diving the Freshwater Springs. If you still think it's okay, please make sure to donate money to the IUCRR...
