Madison Blue
Madison Blue is in Madison County, in north Florida
near the GA state line. The spring is visible from
the Withlacoochee River just south of the State Rd
6 bridge crossing the river. Madison has a beautiful
blue basin and a large cavern area which is
perfect for cavern certified divers to enjoy. Madison
Blue was sold by Anna Bruic to the state of Florida.
The Board of Commissioners of Madison County
approved a resolution to allow cave diving to
resume at Madison Blue Springs. Madison Blue is
now open to cave diving. They will be open from
10AM until 6PM and closed on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Currently there is not
an air fill station at Madison Blue so you will
need to bring your own gas. Diving fee is $5 and
please remember to be courteous to the local
swimmers and open water divers, this will effect
our continued relations with Madison County and
the state.
Madison Blue Spring
Madison Blue Spring is located on the
Withlacoochee River in Northern Florida
just south of the GA state line.
Half Hitch Restriction
On August 25,1999 the Half Hitch restriction,
approximately 850ft, penetration had a collapse.

White clay from the left side of the
z-type restriction filled in most of the passage.
The passage was cleared and we dove up to Potter's
Delight on Sept. 5 and had no problem getting
through Half Hitch.

With the October 17, 1999 accident at
Half Hitch, I decided to add this photo
to give some perspective of size of the
lower window of Half Hitch.
