There are some in New York state. Not great, but closer than Florida. IIRC, there are some a little west of you in Canada. I think they are in the Eramosa Karst area, in Ontario. http://ontariocaves.com/eramosakarst.htm

There are tons of passages under the Ottawa River. Shallow, very low visibility, high flow, and quite serious undertakings

At one time you could dive the back mine. Perhaps inquire with some of the Ottawa area divers if this is still possible as it appears to be closed

Not a cave but there is Esperanza in Rutland, VT where I dive frequently. It's an old marble mine. Unfortunately due to runoff/melting the visibility has been very poor this winter but it's fresh water and dive-able.

There are a lot of Quebec divers I've met randomly that have made day / weekend trips to dive here.

I don't recall the names. They were dived by Dr. David Sawatzky and Ric Browning. i think the names were something like "Pool 1".

Hmmm- never heard of it. I have several project sumps I've been working in NY for a few years, but most require a team of sherpas and a few hours of gear hauling to access.

the eramosa (20-30min drive range) stuff is up the road from me i assume. i read some stories but never sought or checked anything. I think its mostly wiggle dry/wet stuff that does not go much.

i wish i had captured the info

My last post was about Canada, not NY. However, I don't recall the names of the NY caves either.
