About This Dive Spot
Troy Springs is a first-magnitude spring that reaches a depth of 70 feet. It provides opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Within the shallow waters of the spring run, divers can find the remnants of the Civil War-era steamboat Madison, which was intentionally sunk in 1863 to prevent its capture. The aquatic environment is home to various species, including blue catfish, crappie, Florida gar, and bass. Fishing is allowed from the river bank or dock, but it is prohibited in the designated swimming area.
