    Any higher than 5.5' will lose chances of having more than 5-10' of visibility.
    6.5-7'+ and you lose the majority of your surface light before you hit the platform.

    Morrison will look like a swamp right now, but it'd still clear up at the cavern entrance.

    Rent a canoe, dive Cypress.

    This should be the correct gauge:

    Frontal sinuses right above your eyes. Not much you can do about it but slow down depth changes, to give them more time to equalize. Glad you had fun, its a great place.

    If you catch it while still rising, up to 6-9 ft is still clear, but when its peaks or is dropping, back down to 4-3 before it clears is correct.
