    Default Dykes Spring in Jackson County, FL

    Anybody know anything about Dykes Spring on the Chipola River in Jackson Co, FL??? My girlfriend and I were kayaking (not diving) today and came across the spring. A local told me that it was called Dykes Spring. Has anybody out there ever dived it? If so, what's the cave like?

    I believe it is the same one called Maund Springs. North of the Spring Creek and the spring run is on the east bank? Nice cave once inside, sidemount only entrance, lots of critters and has some areas with the orange insulation looking bacteria.

    Thanks for the info. I think I'll plan a dive there in the near future. Anyone know how much line is in it and what kind of depths to expect?

    If I remember the conversation correctly there is quite a bit there (I wanna say 3000ish) and the depth is around the 80s at first and eventually gets shallow to the 30 foot range
