Florida Spring Diver

A Florida spring diver is an individual who explores the crystal-clear freshwater springs throughout Florida for recreation, research, or training. These divers descend into spring basins, which are unique to the region. Known for their curiosity, skill, and respect for delicate underwater ecosystems, Florida spring divers are typically well-versed in safety protocols and environmental conservation practices. They enjoy swimming among lush aquatic vegetation, observing native wildlife such as manatees, turtles, and gator gar, and navigating the cool, transparent waters that remain at a constant year-round temperature, allowing winter diving.
