Dive Spot Guide•
Twin Cave
Twin Cave is a low-flow freshwater cave dive in Merritt's Mill Pond.
Local operator required
A local cave-capable operator is the sensible way to time the approach and keep the line plan conservative.
Boat access via Merritt's Mill Pond; this is a cave dive with low flow, stable temperatures, and line discipline more important than open-water comfort.
About Twin Cave
Twin Cave is a freshwater spring cave with two vents in a shallow depression on Merritt's Mill Pond. The system is a low-flow cave dive with compact passage, stable water, and cave-fauna habitat, so it belongs in the technical freshwater cave lane rather than a simple open-water spring stop. Access is by boat from the pond network, with line discipline and silt control mattering more than current or surf.
