    Diving Convict Springs

    During our last trip we ended up staying at Convict Springs and as a result were able to arrange to dive the system. Convict springs is a side mount system with numerous restrictions on the way in. The system is very silty so we had to have the camera go first most of the time. As a result there are not too many shots with divers.

    Water level was quite low, and there was not much flow at all.

    Overall an interesting system, but silty.

    Yeah that's a tight little cave system. I dove it in March '10 as a solo dive. It was silty and the line was in poor shape. It was relined mid 2010. I only got back to the second dome before turning into the silty mess I made behind me. Very shallow dive so I had lots of gas to use as I slowly made my way back. Water was a lot higher when I dove.

    Yes, the line looked quite new when we were there so it was clear it had been replaced recently. We managed to do three dives in there. It's nice, but as you note quite tight.

    We replaced it a while back all the way up until the last T. Haven't had a chance to finish, and doubt we will anytime soon. If someone else would like to volunteer, I encourage that.
