I met up with photohikedive, MDB, and baydive20 at Morrison Springs, bright and early at 8AM(ok, more like 8:15 and it was cloudy out 
). There were already a few classes onsite and one group of divers in the water. A local promptly stuck his truck a bit too deep in the water while launching his boat and got stuck in the middle of the beach entry. Our early start was nixed after helping local dude getting his bogged down truck out of our way.
PHD, baydive20, and I(MDB stayed on land due to a headache or something) headed into the water and enjoyed excellent visibility(100'ish). Water levels were low so alot of the outskirts of the basin weren't accessible. We jumped down into the cavern and burned a third our tanks down before hanging around the tree crossing the basin for the remainder of our 36 minute dive. I hit a max depth of 89'.
PHD and MDB headed out after the first dive and baydive20 and I decided to go for a second. Several classes were already in the water after our nearly hour long SI. Visibility was reduced to 20-40' depending on where in the basin you were at. The cavern was clear as always and, like the first dive, we burned our first 1/3rd of gas in the hole. We ascended back to OW and headed down the spring run. Our 200ish meter exploration of the spring run brought insight alot of life that wasn't present in the busy basin. There were a few large schools of striped bass(some as large as 25lbs), pike, carp, and a few dead gar littered the bottom. It was a great dive lasting 69 minutes, leaving me a bit chilly. I hit a max depth of 88'.
It was a great set of dives and I think everyone had a blast. Pics at http://www.suprbugman.com/gallery/album128
I spent Sat night, Sunday, and Monday morning at a beach house in Port St Joe, FL. I had never been there and it was nice to see the beach from the road without a ton of highrises blocking the view. I ended up snorkeling at St Joseph Peninsula State Park and saw lots of little fish, crabs, urchins, ect in the grass flats. Good times

I headed back to Morrison Springs today(6-5-6) and met up with Darcy for another dive. There was a small group of divers in the water(no students) and lots of locals on the beach. The water looked great and we had a good dive in the cavern and basin. Visibility was around 80' and our dive lasted 44min with a max depth of 89'. There were two boats that stuck inside the basin fishing. Afterwards, we enjoyed a late lunch at Sally's.
