There is a no scuba diving sign at the boat ramps like Bugman stated. If you think you will be there after sunset, offload your gear by the pavillion and then park your car in the parking area outside the gate. (There is a LARGE parking area that even has bus parking for school groups) If they lock the gate while you are diving you can take your gear off, drive your car back over to the locked gate, and pack everything up there.

Solo diving is no problem. It is county owned and operated. When you see what goes on at Morrison on most summer weekends....solo diving is one of the safer activities taking place!;)
 
I went Sunday, aside from the 300 idiot locals doing their damnedest to destroy their new park, it was great. You could tell the visibility would have been excellent without all the traffic - as it was, we had about 30-40' in the basin with unlimited vis in the cavern.

I'll have a dive report for the weekend up tonight hopefully.

What time?? I was there from around 8:30 until 3! I didn't see any other sidemount divers in the water.

On Sunday?

We left around 5ish, and had an hour in the water, so we probably got there around 2:30-3PMish. By the time we hit the water, there was a fat dude with a Tshirt as exposure protection and some tool who asked to tag along with us into the cavern. He was in a shorty and wore blue converse's as dive booties. When we arrived, there were several groups gearing down and leaving. Didn't see you guys though :(

I asked, said tool, if he was cavern certified and after studdering, he said yes. He then said he's a Master Diver as well, which immediately shot a red flag up - since that means absolute crap. I told him that if he waited for our dive to be over, we could get a dive in. He said OK, then buddied up with big ugly and they were in the cavern shortly after we entered. Tool had one light, no trim, bad propulsion technique, and no backup line. If he would have been straight up with me, I would have taken him on a little tour. Instead he lied and that kinda pissed me off.
 
We must have just missed each other. The van was parked pretty close to the boardwalk. Didn't see the tool either...not that I'm complaining!
 
Bill Huth was out there, I parked(we were in Michelle's Rav 4, not my wagon) by his big ugly van on the other side of the pavillion. He was playing with a hacked Canon for some time lapse photos or something like that...

Master Diver does not mean absolute crap. And while this person seems to be of poor character and questionable skill based on your assessment, its a bit mean to be flaming him on the internet. Dont worry about what other people do unless they get in your way.

But anyway, Ill be there saturday around 930 to work with an OW student if anyone wants to say Hi.
