Had a nice talk with Ron Coley this afternoon. First, they haven't even started rigging the cables for a lift.
Second, they have pumped the theater portion of the sub dry (the water wasn't nearly as bad as expected).
Third, Ron is being told early June for a completion date. He doesn't put that much faith in the date.
Fourth, they will not be removing the pipe from Diversion. It is an official collection site for the blind salamander by USFWS.
Fifth, Fish may decide to let the Training Area return to a more natural state. If that is the case, no more OW classes at Aquarena.
Sixth, they still haven't decided on the best barrier to keep student divers in the training area and away from Diversion.
