Apopka Blue ?

I thought I remembered 400' downstream and 2000'ish upstream. But it's been 15+ years since I've been there. The shovel is to get through the upstream restriction. Last time I dove there, it was the size of a 5gallon bucket. And that was when it was being dove semi-frequently.

I hate sand slide restrictions... one of the few places that I get a little tense...

Actually, it goes about 550 feet upstream and there's about twice as much cave passage downstream. I haven't dived it for around 16 years so my memory may be faulty, but I do have my survey data to look at.

The upstream restriction varies in size. When I was surveying the cave (in 1996), you could easily go through in backmount, but it has been sidemount only both before and since.

Anyone ever see the PBS series "New Florida", part of which was filmed at Apopka Blue according to the Cambrian Foundation website. I looked for it on the PBS website with no luck..

Thanks
