Is Madison Blue a good beginner cave? The entry with the magnetic In/Out sign is sort of weird. How is the flow? It is classified as a first magnitude spring, but all the videos I see how the divers swimming and not the pull of glide of Ginnie.

Madison is a good cave for a beginner cave diver. Flow is noticeable but manageable. Last time I was there, the gold line started outside the overhead so you can elect to use it, or there is enough room to run your own if you want to practice. If I remember, you are apprentice so you can follow the GL or you can take the jump to the Gozilla room about 200 feet in.

Rocky Horror requires a jump to get to it so you won't have to worry.New NSS apprentice so no jumps until I get more training in.
About how far down is it?

I am not sure what the magnetic sign is. Arrive with full tanks as Dive Outpost, the nearest shop is 45 minutes away.
Lake City Dive Center is probably a closer option if you need fills...
