Troy Springs

Troy springs.. what's the scoop? Is this a diveable cave? Is it allowed? Any info?

Even though it's accessible from the river, the park system claims jurisdiction. Several years ago my buddy wanted to practice with her doubles in the spring and they wouldn't let her wear lights or reels.

I peered into the cave and it was lower sidemount than I would want to go. But that's just me.

Then again, since you're not allowed in, you might want to convince yourself it's too low.

It is more like no-mount, but like Russell said, it is a moot point, since it is illegal.

Went in the cave several years back before it was a state park. It was a tight sidemount and I remember taking a tank off at several points. In all the cave was only a hundred feet or so. Took me more time to get my stuff from the car to the water than it took to do the dive.
