Morrison Report aka Hazard Diver Speciality Certification

[JamesK]

I am a certified cave diver. But no, there were no signs about bacteria on the day I was there.

Well then you know better to take your cousin inside who is obviously not. Even an instructor I see.

But you seriously saw no signs? Crazy. That is actually pretty shocking. I wonder if someone had removed them.

No signs, and since there were two other groups of divers and a few families swimming, that would indicate we didn't simply miss them. But as to cavern diving, I don't want to argue it. I was just correcting your assumption.

Not gonna argue.

I am serious though. I wonder if someone removed them because they wanted to swim? Or some other reason maybe.

Not sure. IMO, the gate should be closed in any case, though I suppose some people might want to just come and hang out.

 

[Austino]

Couldn't they still close the gate, put a big "DO NOT ENTER THE WATER" sign up on the gate, and let people who want to use the picnic area go ahead?

 

[jviehe]

Yeah, I mean they said they had signs on the tables, that would probably be good enough. Im sure I would have seen something if it was there. I dont like having to close off the entire park, even though its primarily about swimming. I was more upset that there didnt appear to be any warning. Its entirely possible that 15 people simply missed the signs.

 

[Austino]

Apparently additional water test results were supposed to be back yesterday, and a copy should be mailed to one of my co-workers/fellow diver soon. If anyone else has inquired and has an update before me, I would greatly appreciate if they'd post it here.

 

[Austino]

Apparently Morrison still hasn't passed water testing, but they're re-drawing.

Ban was lifted. I dove Sunday with someone from the Walton County Sheriff's office in attendance. Other than the water being cold and some yahoo trying to roll a metal picnic table out of the depths and up to shore, which dusted up a lot of silt, it was a great dive.

Awesome. I didn't die, so I guess we evaded the bacteria successfully.
