    Default Madison Steps

    Are the steps at Madison complete? If not, does anyone have an estimate on the completion date.

    While we're on the subject, what's the closest reputable place to get fills around Madison?

    Probably Luraville. Certainly the closest for "cave fills".

    Top off the night before in Luraville, dive Madison, return to Luraville for a top off and then dive Peacock. Makes for a very nice day. This advice was given to me and it worked out perfect.

    Another option is a second set of tanks.

    Just rent an extra set of tanks to take with you.

    When I dove Madison two weeks ago on Oct 21, the workmen said the steps would be completed in two more weeks...so that would be yesterday if they kept to their schedule.

    I have a second set. I was looking to get three dives in at Madison before heading towards Luraville.

    Per the park manager, "a couple more weeks" from today.
