There is no limit. We'll always find a way to go deeper and deeper. That's been the pattern all along.

Depths average 50-60' for the front portion of the cave. There are 2 entrances once you are in the basin. The rabbit hole a little tight but with less flow than going in through the cavern entrance. The rabbit hole is to the left of the old underwater platform or just about directly underneath the diving platform the swimmers use. If you go in through the rabbit hole the gold line is at the back of the cavern slight to the right. It is tied to the grim reaper sign.
Have fun
I prefer to lay the line on the left side going from the rabbit hole to the mainline as there are plenty of ties offs, good places to leave deco bottles and it is easy to keep the line snug and out of the way.
As noted above, depths are fairly shallow in the front sections of the cave with a couple exceptions - the Century tunnel and the lower parts of the Godzilla room where you can exceed 100'.
Thanks for the tips

It's real pretty, and very little flow right now, if you are used to diving high flow systems, you will hardly notice it.

the website still shows madison as closed to swimming and diving.

Call the Ranger Station for an update. Cathy at Dive Outpost might also have an update as divers passing through there give her updates.
Heard today at Cave East that's it's closed again, some friends called up there and spoke to the ranger.....
Safe diving,
Rich
