Yeah. I've been there lots of times, having grown up in Pickens. It is a good little place.

Let me pose a question to those who have gone diving at the hot hole before. I have been told 2 things and wonder which is correct. There are these orange ball like things in the water. I have been told they are fresh water sponges that grow there and I have been told they are biodegradable balls that expand when wet and used to clean out the out flow pipes. So what is the real deal???

I don't know what they are but I noticed two things. 1) they come in different colours, I saw blue, white, and pink. 2) they are SUSPICIOUSLY identical in all respects (other than colour), perfectly spherical, and quite elastic. I'm going to pop one in my BC pocket and check it out on the surface.
Putting objects in the flow pipe doesn't seem logical for cleaning though. My personal opinion is that they are placed there by an as yet unidentified alien intelligence to confuse divers prior to beginning their invasion. I may be wrong.

Just got an email from Bill at Off the Wall a few minutes ago. The only time he can do our charter to the Hot Hole on the 31st is at 9am. Is that going to work for everyone? I know some of you have a long drive. Let me know.
leah:
I'm still in! We're driving up from Columbia (about 2.5 hours), but we'll make it. Let's hope this beautiful weather holds out!!

That's the spirit!!
I am really looking to this weekend. According to www.accuweather.com the weather for Salem, SC is supposed to be great 73 and sunny.

I know what you mean! But at least we'll get off the lake at a decent hour to have a hot meal afterwards and get home before too late. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
