John has thousands of dives in our springs, and will show you all they have to offer!  Open Water divers are welcome! This is a great opportunity to experience diving in the springs!  You will need to bring your gear, tanks and dive lights.

Paradise Springs - January 6th, 2024
Paradise Spring is located near Ocala. The huge cavern area with prehistoric fossils embedded in the walls makes every dive at Paradise Springs interesting and enjoyable.  The strata of prehistoric limestone that was once beneath the sea are clearly visible as you make your way around the large water filled room and at every turn more fossils are revealed! Clear water and constant 72 degree water temperature makes this dive great at any time of the year!  There is a $30 entrance fee to get into Paradise Springs and you must have a dive light.  There are no air fills or dive shop on site, so make sure you have everything you need.  Rentals available at Letts Dive!!

Ichetucknee Springs - February 10th, 2024
Although well-known for its warm weather tubing, Ichetucknee Springs State Park, located near Fort White, is a 2,669-acre wildlife haven where beaver, otter, gar, softshell turtle, wild turkey, wood duck and limpkin all find a home. The main draw is the park’s eight major crystal-clear springs that join to create the 6-mile Ichetucknee River.  The upper portion within the state park is a National Natural Landmark, perhaps the most pristine spring run in the state! We will be diving at the Blue Spring Hole located within the park.  Blue Hole spring is a first magnitude spring that pumps over 67 million gallons of water per day. Depth in the center of the spring reaches near 40 feet (fluctuates based on water levels). There is no dive shop on site, so make sure to have your tanks and gear ready to go!  Rentals available at Letts Dive!! $6 entry fee to the park.
