Any reports on morrison?

[av8er23]

Did anyone dive Morrison Springs this weekend? I will be going down either this coming up weekend or the next and was courious of the conditions. Last time I was down there (about a month ago) it was very murky on the surface but people said It cleared up after 10 feet or so..

Water levels are around 4.5', it shouldn't have much, if any, tannic water on the surface. Depending on spring flow and traffic, visibility could be 30-100'+.

We'll probably be diving it next Sunday(18th).

I got a dive report from a friend in Ozark, Al about morrison. They said it is crystal clear.

jviehe went Sunday and reported 20' visibility in the basin after the classes rumbled through, but clear and blue in the lesser treaded areas. Caverns gonna be clear anyway.

Personally, I can't wait for Sunday

Gulf-Gulper and I went today. You could see the far side of the log above the basin from the platform. The water was brown on Friday when we checked it and today it was blue. If the weather holds it will be crystal clear for you and you should be able to see all the way across the basin. I'll be posting a movie probably tomorrow - keep an eye out in the Florida Conch forum.

I plan on being at Vortex Friday around lunch. PM for cell number if you can make it.

OBTW, How far is Auburn from Vortex. Driving normal posted speed limits. Suggested route would be helpful also.
Thanks

I cannot make it friday we are only going down for sat.

I am not sure about route and distance from auburn because i am coming from phenix city. it takes me 2:40 or so. Your best route will probably take I-85 to montgomery and then taking country roads from there.
