Tues. Oct. 31, 2017 - Guy and I dove Orange all by ourselves...no other divers there when we entered the crystal blue water. Jill Heinerth and her colleague explorers were at Peacock 1 working with the Sunfish for outer-space exploration, inner-space.

Meanwhile, Guy and I took the jump to the right into the Distance Tunnel, and proceeded to the split at the end.

What a magnificent dive. The basin was crystal blue with a giant light ray beaming through it. The old, dead trees were picturesque, and the duck weed surface was a luminescent yellow. Marvelous. Will take the Martz Offshoot next time. Great tunnel for photos.
