Yes vis was horrible at Morrison Saturday. Hopefully will clear up soon.

For river levels and predictions at the nearest river level recorder in Caryville.

4.5' you'll start gaining a bit of visibility(10-15'ish).
3.5'-3' before its starts getting really clear 30'-50'+

Any higher than 5.5' will lose chances of having more than 5-10' of visibility.
6.5-7'+ and you lose the majority of your surface light before you hit the platform.

Morrison will look like a swamp right now, but it'd still clear up at the cavern entrance.

Rent a canoe, dive Cypress.

This should be the correct gauge:

The visibility was awesome. Made a couple dives. Only my 9th and 10th dives. On the 10th, I had a lot of pressure from the mask above my left eye(bone). Never experienced it before. What could be causing it?

Frontal sinuses right above your eyes. Not much you can do about it but slow down depth changes, to give them more time to equalize. Glad you had fun, its a great place.

If you catch it while still rising, up to 6-9 ft is still clear, but when its peaks or is dropping, back down to 4-3 before it clears is correct.
