    We were there last week, and there's been no reason for conditions to change.

    Basin and front of cave a little milky but fine - vis 50-75 feet out to Martz Sink jump, then crystal clear past there. Flow down - even lower than in October when we though it was really low!

    We've been getting some rainfall out here today, scheduled for tomorrow and Sat as well. Also had some rain earlier this week, it could have an adverse affect on Madison which has a tendancy to blow before everything else(specially with a shoddy uncharged aquiffer).

    I am due to be down there the following weekend. What will all this rain do to Little River, Peacock, Cow and all the other "usual" hot spots?

    Insert something witty and creative here_________________________.

    It will "blow" them all out, just stay home!

    While the aquifer is low, it would still take a LOT of rain to even blow Madison out.

    Isn't that the truth. Our clear water is clear AND warm....

    I love how MO and TN cave divers think all FL caves are clear and warm.

    Well, after diving real cold water for years, I will say I' ve never seen anything even close in FL. I will say the water can be as dark here as anywhere I've ever been though
