The Crack is a cave system located off the Withlacoochee River in the Twin Rivers State Forest. Cave diving access is not open to the public. The hallmarks of the system include restrictive entrances and a fissure crack (joint) in the front of the cave where the depths drop from 30ft to 150ft in one dramatic go. This significant depth change in one joint is a feature not often seen in area caves. After this fissure crack, the depths are very consistent in the 140s and 150ft deep eventually trending down to at least 175ft deep.

This lead finally got explored. Brett and I had noticed it on more than one occasion during the 2012 Weeki Wachee diving window and at the end of what was to prove our very last dive there before the rain drove the flow too high to enter, Brett took a look at this deeper opening
