Dove the Cross Under and went downstream in Aquaduct to the first "t". Cross Under is springing nice clear water and the Aquaduct was very clear. Some colder, tannic water settled at 't' in Aquaduct. |

Entered at Martz and swam upstream to the Rotorooter Tunnel. Flow is very high and the cave is dusty, but visibility is 50' . Exited at the main basin - cavern vis is about 20' with lots of cold, tannic water pumping out of the Crossunder Tunnel. |

Did a dive today at Madison Blue Springs after hearing that it had reopened.
My dive buddy and I entered from the basin and did the Godzilla circuit. Found the line buried at times and with a lot of debris and silt about.
But overall I'd say it was a great dive and happy to see it back open!

Basin is completely blown out with river intruding. Went in at Martz which is still clear. Clear water to the main line jump and upstream from there. Downstream from Martz appears to be very cloudy and poor vis. Flow is slight to none. |

Basin was pretty cloudy, inside was relatively clear. Seemed to be lots of dust on everything, easily silted even with good technique. Mild flow, noticeable only when not kicking. |

1st dive around Godzilla circuit, traffic has cleared out allot of the 'dust' that settled from the floods. 2nd dive up mainline to ~1300' crystal clear..... |

Flow was up. Vis was good inside. ther's a bucket in the basin for glass so while your doing your deco pick some glass up and place it in the bucket. It's right by the big barrel. |

Viz not so great on the gold line, Banana Room, Monkey Room. Decent in the passage to the Banana room from the gold line. |

We enter the cave through the main entrance. In almost no time, we make it to the Half Hitch restriction. We get to the Banana Room jump and tie in a spool, we get into the tunnel maybe 10 feet and turn again. We recalculate where we tied in and this time I lead in back into the system, back to the Half Hitch restriction. We stop at the Godzilla Room jump and tie in a spool, we follow that through the Banana Room as its gets nice and low and dusty. We turn and the flow pushes us out, and we come back to the cavern area and I get to explore. This system has a very wide and interesting cavern zone. We tied a spool in and explored a bit over around the Rabbit Hole entrance. Another GREAT day of cave diving!! Vis 60 , Mix 33%, Temp 69 degrees, Max Depth 73 feet, Bottom Time 111 minutes. |

Basin clear. Moderate flow, strong in restrictions. Slight haze but good vis. did the GodzillaCircuit. Lots of dust on scalloped rocks and ledges. Needs divers in it to help clean it out. Excellent dive! |

High Flow! Still a bit dirty from floods, but a good dive. Side passages still need some traffic to 'clean out'.

Dive was good. Flow was high in the main tunnel. Rocks are silt/sand coverred. line to banana room is sand covered (tie offs included) and needs to be gapped. Basin is milky, cannot see platform from surface. |

Under |
Wanted to dive first dive of the trip here...it was under. Martz sink was half way up the steps and milky. Headed south. Had mixed for Madison single stage - needed a place to use it. |

50ish |
Dived Madison Thursday morning late. We had the place to ourselves except for a very industrious lap swimmer! The flow is way down from it's normal "spit you out" norm. Vis varied anywhere from 30 to 50 ft and looked "smoky". A silt layer does cover everything, and we turned the dive at around 600 feet out of just a general "blech" factor as I just wasn't having fun. We did get back in after lunch and did a some line drills to make the trip worth it. |
| 3/23/2009 |
Bob (packman) |
30-50 ft |
Dove today up the main line to Mount jump and also went into the Godzilla room. Vis up front and in Godzilla room was ~30 ft while it cleared to ~50 ft down main line. Flow is just enough to give a nice slow ride out of the system. All walls and surfaces were covered with a solid layer of silt. |

Offshore |
5-15' |
Basin was brown with barely a few feet of viz. When getting down to tie in in the cavern zone, I could barely see from one end of my buddy to the other. It did clear up a little bit after the first jump arrow, but only to about 15' or so. Flow was fairly noticeable as well, and we made a max penetration of ~525'. Radically different from when I was here only a month ago, and makes me think of taking macro photos of some of the "swiss cheese" rock edges... |

Did two intro dives to 1000ft, seriously considered turning the dive because we were almost in touch contact all the way to 700ft. Basin and cavern were 15ft of vis, clearing up to 30ft in cave, past Martz it clears up to about 80ft of vis. Awesome surprise considering we almost called it before suiting up. |

Basin up to Martz jump has some tannic intrusion, still clearish(15-20'). 60' and better visibility afterwards, water warms up too. |

Good |
Did two dives in Madison today - out the mail line to the Dropoff, and then the Godzilla circuit. Flow moderate, vis good, a little fine particulate in the water in the area of the Banana Room jump, otherwise clear. |

Excellent |
I just got home from a great dive at Madison. In summary, the viz. is excellent and the flow is quite substantial. We entered at Martz, dropped O2 bottles on the mainline across from the Martz tunnel and turned upstream. Every time I say that flow was high anywhere, someone will say it was higher in the "old days", but none the less I'm saying the flow was higher than any I've experienced there. After passing the Half Hitch restriction, we took the jump toward Potters Delight and the aptly named, Rocky Horror. Flow remained quite substantial and, of course, increased in the ever smaller passages. This was my first passage through Rocky Horror and; although I have dived smaller passages, I don't think I have dived one that small with that much flow in it. We made it a short distance past Rocky to "David's Fork" or some similar name, where I turned on "almost 1/3s & far enough". The viz. was not as good going back through Rocky and Potters for some reason, but cleared back up at the mainline, until Martz, where it was hazy for a while. We picked up our O2 and exited the mainspring with a total dive time of about 85 min. and 7 min. deco on O2. As of 2:30 we were still the only divers in the system today. |

Flow a little higher than when I was here in October...viz is okay up to Martz and is crystal clear past that. Martz sink was a nice entry for a change...you could see the bottom! We dove here two days in a row and had two excellent dives. |
| 11/15/2008 |
Bil Lindstrom |
50' and better |
It was fifty feet or so up to Martz, then cleared considerably to an easy 80, maybe better. Through half hitch and up to just past the Mount Offshoot it was excellent, maybe a hundred. Godzilla room was clear, but the tunnel leading to it was a bit hazy. Great dives, I don't get here near often enough. |

Green tint in the basin, vis was so-so on the mainline. Cleared up quite a bit in the Godzilla Room. |

Andy Lamborn |
40-100 |
We a dive to the Godzilla Room where the viz was 30 to 40 then we swam up the mainline to the drop off. Once we passed the Martz sink jump, the viz improved greatly 80 to 100. Great dive, but flow was up a little and the basin was a little green. |

Elisha Gibson |

Sweet dive...Flow is much higher than it was in August. Cave is continuing to clear from the floods, but visibility started out poorish until the half hitch and got better and better past there. Martz is really tannic and gross. |

20'-50' |
We did a dive in Madison Saturday afternoon. Went first up the Godzy circuit. A little poofie in there but not too bad. The line was visible the whole way. After we got back to the jump , my friend and I went up the mainline up past Mount's offshoot. It was a little cloudy UNTIL we got past Martz. Then it cleared up VERY NICELY (almost cracklin blue). We went up to the dropoff in the Rotor-rooter tunnel (I hope I have that right). Coming out was a breeze (ya , you betcha dere). The flow was about medium (like it always is) so it's back to where it kind of used to be. Made coming out very nice (very little kicking).
The Main line was buried under some sand only in a couple places and then only for about a foot or so. Vis on the main-line up to Martz was about 20-30 feet...Once past Martz it increased to about 50ft plus. |

Amazing dive! Headed up w/ Chris for my B-day and well worth it! The family wasn't too happy as the no-see-ums were carrying everything away but my doubles of course. Any who-a-yea, We head to the traverse to Martz! Vis was around 100 (or as far as my light could shine) and popped out the entrance of Martz! Always wanted to do that! Headed back to where I left my gap reel, Chris caught my attention quickly and let me know there were other divers behind me. !!Where'd they come from!!!! After bumbping into them, we went upstream to half hitch and turned back! Played around in the cavern zone looking for that lead that leads to the sink just to the right of the basin. Just a magical place! |

The cave is starting to clean up after the flood earlier this summer. Vis looked to be at least 80 feet. Flow is moderate and will quickly clear up stirred silt and sand if you happen to fail to properly secure your inflater to your wing and get dumped onto the floor at the worst moment.
Only saw two other teams at the cave and never bumped into them at all in the water. The real crowds are the swimmers and picnickers. We entered Martz sink for both dives, but exited the rabbit hole on the second dive. Today's crowd were more curious and courteous then I have previously encountered. They were even kind enough to move out of the way when I was trying to get up the stairs. |

Nice dive today. Vis cleared noticably once past the Martz tunnel. Nice flow, about what it was 2 years ago. Martz sink looks good, will try entery there next week. Lots of sediment on the walls and floor. |

Entered through rabbit hole, went to the Godzilla room. Vis was about 50' all the way. Found all three Godzillas, great dive. temps about 70 degrees. This just became my favorite cave. |

Basin was clear,cavern vis 25ft.Ran mainline to half hitch,vis in cave was 30-50ft.A class dusted it pretty good on our second dive.Hundreds of swimmers topside.I guess Mexican kids dont understand[excuse me] while hogging the stairs.Would like to do Godzilla and Martz next time. |

This was my first dive at Madison. We dove the main line only. The visibilty was good even thought there was a lot of suspended particulate matter. The flow wasn't bad at all. Plenty of swimmers in the basin. |
| 5/10/2008 |
Shirley Kasser |
excellent |
The flow was "perfect", enough to keep things cleared up, but not enough to make the dive feel like work. Recent traffic has cleared up a lot of previously reported buried line issues. Swimming season is in full swing and the basin was full of happy swimmers. Entering through the Rabbit Hole, we spent 86 minutes, going to 1100' on the main line, as well as checking out the Godzilla room. |

Bobbi & I dove there 4/10
As Jim said there is ALOT of sand in there now. Our dive was to just check out all the jumps we could. At stop sign water is not tannic but has allot of particles vis 20' /Godzilla jump vis> 15' and allot of very sandy (fine) covered the pull rocks- Banana room jump > 20' - Martz Jump (we did not go in but vis was up in this area to 25-30') We went up the main line another 200 or so seemed to hold at 30'. We had a nice float out / the man hole in the floor is 1/2 filled in / (flow is way up) and checked out the 1st jump past the stop sign (it runs Parallel to the main) , removed twigs, dug out line 0'ed the vis & repaired line
Cavern vis 15 - 20 (greenish) could not even see light from the rabbit hole.
It's like a new dive, with all the new sand dunes |
| 4/2/2008 |
Jim Wyatt |
30-40 |
High flow similiar in volume to Devil's Ear.
20-40 feet vis. Truckloads of san all over the cave floor. Lines buried in the sand as deep as 3 feet for a linear distance of 20 feet.
Rabbit Hole entrance is easier than main entrance.

80~100' |
Entered Martz Sink and swam to upstream side of Rocky Horror. Vis was hazy and about 20~30' for the first ~300'. After that it opened up to 80~100' vis. Exited at the spring (just as murky as Martz entrance); a decision well worth the effort of not climbing back up the Martz steps. Flow seemed typical as the last several months.
Despite the cold, rainy, and miserable above-ground conditions, it was an awesome dive. |

Tannic and cold water flowing from the Crossunder and Marntz tunnels. Poor vis in the 20 foot range. Reports that the water clears past the Marntz tunnel. Basin blown out... |

Jacki C |
spectacular past Martz jump |
Flow is so low that a single stage got us through Potter's Delight and Rocky Horror. We're planning a double stage next time so we can push out the back of Potter's. It seems to get more beautiful every time we go. |

THIS IS THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF OUR PREVIOUS POST: The State Park Boys were busy working on the shower-restrooms. If I have one comment about the facilities @ Madison it would be that considering all the “new” cave divers who like to use this place, it would be nice if there was a handrail on one side of the trail going from the parking lot down to the platform entry. I have seen a number of people have a hard time trying to hold on to that plastic chain and step up @ each railroad tie with full gear on; and have watched a few actually fall over because of it. BUT I AIN’T COMPLAININ NONE EITHER! A great place overall.

Jackie and I dove the Godzilla Circuit and several other tunnels in the same area, on Wed, AM, returning to Marietta after 2 weeks @ Ginnies. Had the whole damn place to ourselves! As Tom Hundley says, the viz was “as far as your light shines.” Simply outstanding! Flow was slightly positive. Lance’s hard work on the lines is really appreciated….particularly if some stupid shit stirs up that very fine silt that you have to pass back thru. The stairs going in to the main basin were still very sturdy and the carpet on the runners was still tacked down and not slippery
WE FOUND GODZILLA! A “big deal”, because on that day the boy was NOT tied to the line between the back-to-back arrows, but rather, was on a high ledge, overlooking the room on the left. In keeping with tradition, Godzilla now has a new lair, in the same room, which might be a little more challenging to find. I suspect that Godzilla will keep moving unless all y’all cable tie that pup off to the line. Most divers who want to move him might go as far to untie him from the line (obviously that had happened here), but probably would not cut the line to get him….although we do have a few total idiots diving caves these days.

I've done three dives there recently in the past month or so. My hats off to Lance on the new lines. I had done Gozilla before but not into the Court Yard. What a wonderful dive. I had someone show me some tunnels not far off Gozilla and they were fantastic and pristine. I had no idea just how many differnt places there are in the system that I did not know about. Madison has a lot to offer. There are truly some stunning and varied places in the system.

Just have to agree with everyone else..The courtyard is a fantastic dive. Just a blast and with such cave variety. With the low flow we got in at the main spring and had no trouble getting back to the courtyard doing a single stage dive. Viz is great also. Looking forward to my next trip there. |

Dive to Courtyard and a little beyond. What a beautiful place. Third dive to same location and since we went here I just can't talk myself into going anywhere else. Love this dive. Flow is much more significant after the drop down the well to courtyard; it's a very nice trip on the way out. |

Conditions are great right now here. We entered at Martz, and went up through Potters & Rocky and kept on swimming just past the 3000' marker! Vis was spectacular all the way, what a fantastic cave! |

Vis was down a bit due to the wonderful rain. We pretty much had the system to ourselves all day. Flow had picked up a bit but was still down. Tub is on bottom in cavern. |

We did 2 dives at Madison yesterday: 1) Godzilla circuit plus CrossUnder tunnel to where it opens up; 2) Martz to Potters Delight, return mainline and exit in main spring. The flow was pretty minimal, visibility spectacular throughout! |

The flow is still down and the viz is incredible. We did the Godzilla circuit, up to Martz Sink and down the mainline. The water was a beautiful blue in the Godzilla room.
Madison has a new policy for divers. You need to fill out a form (like Manatee) before you dive. |
| 4/21/2007 |
Daniel Jimenez |

Incredible viz! Entered at Martz, crystal clear, and pushed back past the well into the courtyard. The viz throughout the courtyard was the best I´ve ever seen...a dive that all experienced cave divers should complete with the help of a stage... |

A bit tannic in the cavern - crackling blue past Martz sink. Crackling clear blue in the Godzilla room too.
Flow is not bad. |

The River is backing into Madison Blue and the visiblity in the cavern is less five feet. If you know where to look you can still find the gold line. The visibility even past the Godzilla Circuit is around 20'. I heard from another team that is was still clear at Martz Sink but did not confirm. |

Flow is fairly low, and even though a fair amount of water seems to be flowing to the river, it's easy to get into the system either via the main entrance or the Rabbit hole. |

Viz was remarkable! Flow was much much lower than last time I was here (May 2005). Popular swimming hole, but can peacefully co-exist. We did see some of the blue paint specs that Jim mentions below. Went up past Mount offshoot a couple hundred feet. IMHO... one of the most beautiful white/reddish caves. Pool is a brilliant and inviting blue color! |

Super clear and very nice today. It really is worth the drive north. If you got them, you might want to bring two sets of tanks to get an extra dive in since the fill station is such a long ways away.

Normal flow and vis. gets better past half hitch. Tannic water not intruding run at this time. Basin water level at 11.15 on gauge near steps. Raining hard when we left with more rain forecast. I would expect river to start rising soon due to the weather. |
| 1/23/2006 |
Frank Lavallee |
Good |
The outflow into the basin is moderate and the water is a little green. The Crossunder Tunnel all the way back to the deep drop-off is very silty on the floor and walls, so I would recommend no more than a 2-person team, and do it in sidemounts. The main tunnel and the run to the Godzilla Room has good vis, but isn't crackling blue.
The right side steps on the dock are roped off. The left side steps are getting mushy, so it's only a matter of time before some repairs are needed. |

The flow was up, but the cave was beautiful. We swam up the mainline about 1400ft. Wooden steps need work, so be careful they are slippery and falling apart. Maybe we should start a collection jar to have them repaired. |

Flow reduced measurably since 10/15. Excellent viz. Only one other team present. Wooden platform steps continue to degrade and create a precarious entry/exit. |

Madison is definitely "blue" right now, the flow is kicking but the cave is very clear.....expect reduced vis on exit due to ceiling percolation in the farther reaches... |
