Site details

Troy Spring is a first-magnitude spring on the Suwannee River in Troy Spring State Park, with a clear bowl dropping to about 70 ft — one of the deepest open-water spring dives in Florida that requires no cavern certification. In the shallow spring run lie the ribs of the Madison, a Confederate sidewheel steamboat scuttled in 1863 to keep it from Union capture. Diving is open-water only: certified divers with a buddy, no lights and no cave penetration.

Open-water diving onlyno cave entry and no lights permitted; solo diving prohibited; mild outflow over the vent; the historic Madison wreck timbers are fragile and protected (do not touch); Suwannee River floods can brown out the basin.
