Suwannee Blue

Suwannee Blue is a shallow, sidemount cave located on the Suwannee River

featuring several connecting sinkholes located on private property.

Flow can be challenging here, and one my first experiences was a free dive

to look at the syphon side of one of the sinks.

The current caught me and began pulling me into the cave.

Lucky for me, I grabbed a limestone ledge and was able to pull myself back into the basin.

Otherwise, I'm not sure I could have swam back out against the flow.

The cave was mapped and video shot one weekend by Brett Hemphill, Jerry Murphy, and myself.

Because of the shallow depths, we were able to map the cave in a single three-and-a-half-hour dive.

Videos of this crystal-clear, super-small cave system are available if you can find them!
