I'll be there around 9:30 am with another open water friend, come on out. I'll be in a black truck with sidemount white 95's. Anyone bored, come on out. I'll be playing with the new GoPro.so I can get video of you in the water, open water or cavern.

Did you end up going? How was the visibility in the basin?

Vis was horribly murky, ten feet would be generous. My O/W friend was newly minted there two weekends prior and got a bad feeling and didn't want to dive there (not cavern certified so would be in the muck the whole time).

We hit vortex instead which was about 20 ft vis, suspended particulate algae bloom. Three feet past the reaper sign its clear throughout the cave.

Morrison water level is past the ramp steps and about 15 ft from the pavillion steps. I've never seen Morrison that bad before, even when flooded it had always been cleaner. There was no one in the water when we arrived, and only one three person open water sidemount class splashed when we left all suited up. About 8 others were gearing up to go.

Out of area folks, check river levels before going unless going straight to the cavern.
