There's a big difference between Morrison and Vortex. Vortex has artificial structures and swim throughs in the basin area. Morrison is still COMPLETLY natural looking below the water.

I think they did a fairly good job with the park.
I just need to go see it without the river covering most of the new structure...

Looking forward to a visit to Morrisons during Springfest. Was the basin flooded this weekend? I would guess by PHD's report it might have been.

I haven't been there since it's been "open"
I have the day off, I could swing by, take some pictures, and come back with an up to date report...

It looked good on Thursday night, waterlevels and all. Since then, the water levels are rising, so if you didn't get out there this weekend, ya might have to wait for things to subside a bit.

A report would be appreciated, It would give you something to do on your off day. Something besides keeping EGG in line anyway. And I do not volunteer to take over in your absence.
I had a few friends that were planning to dive there Saturday. I told them it would most likely be flooded. I do not have a report from them as of yet.

Not true...
Vortex is a commercial operation, with a campground, etc...
Morrison is a park. The basin is much prettier, it's larger, etc...
They just added a boardwalk/dock, paved the parking lot, etc... besides the dock, the basin is unchanged.
The real benefit is that boaters are now no longer launching directly from the same beach that the divers are entering. They have a new boat ramp just downstream. There are also "No Boats" buoy's up at the entrance to the basin.
