Madison Blue Spring
Florida · 7.6–27.4 m
Madison Blue Spring is a first-magnitude spring on the bank of the Withlacoochee River in Madison Blue Spring State Park, regularly voted among the best cave dives in the United States. The 82-ft-wide, 25-ft-deep basin leads to a cave entrance about 30 ft down that opens into more than 26,000 ft of mapped passage including famous rooms and tunnels along the gold line. Diving is restricted to certified cavern and cave divers with mandatory sign-in, two-diver teams, and no DPVs.

Saint Andrew's Bay
Florida · 6.1–21.3 m
The St. Andrews State Park jetties guard the entrance channel of St. Andrew Bay in Panama City Beach and are the Panhandle's best-known shore dive. After a short swim across a sheltered 8-10 foot lagoon, divers cross the granite jetty and work along boulders that drop from about 20 to 70 feet on the channel side, where Gulf and estuary species mix. Timing the dive to high slack tide is essential, as the tidal exchange through the pass generates strong currents and the channel carries constant boat traffic.

USS Oriskany
Florida · 25.6–64.6 m
The USS Oriskany (CV-34), an 888-foot Essex-class aircraft carrier that served in Korea and Vietnam, was scuttled in 2006 about 22.5 nautical miles southeast of Pensacola Pass to become the world's largest artificial reef — the 'Great Carrier Reef' and flagship of the Florida Panhandle Shipwreck Trail. She sits upright in 212-220 feet of water; the island tower tops out near 84 feet, the flight deck lies at about 145 feet and the hangar bay at 175 feet, putting most of the ship in technical-diving territory. Squadrons of amberjack circle the superstructure, which is now heavily colonized by corals, sponges and baitfish.
