    Default Buford Sink

    Has anyone been out to Buford lately? How is the water level in the swamp?

    Does it matter? The swamp is one of my favorite parts of that particular dive. Go get muddy! (I'll head out there later this week and report what I find).

    Please do not litter. I am heavily armed.

    Thanks Math, keep me posted. I've been planning this dive for awhile now-just waiting on good conditions.

    Wait for a drought. The swamp sucks to walk through if the water level is high and the vis won't be that great in the sink. Time it right and its probably the best cavern dive in florida.

    Dove Buford Yesterday and the swamp wasn't too difficult to walk through- I think the water went up to my knees maybe twice but pretty easy for the most part. Vis was great in the cavern.
