Come and join us on this amazing Dive Adventure!!!On Saturday morning, we will visit and drift dive Rainbow River Spring. Rainbow River is a national treasure that boasts remarkable clarity and size and is one of the largest springs in Florida. This spring gushes out 400-600 million gallons of clear spring water every day creating a 5.7-mile-long river that meets the Withlacoochee River. Rainbow River has a rich history dating back to prehistoric times so you might get lucky and find an ancient artifact during your dive. The area is rich with wildlife that will be visible on the surface as well as below the water.
On Saturday afternoon, we will visit Devil’s Den. This spring dates back to prehistoric times and on cold winter mornings you can see steam, like smoke, rising from the chimney opening. Thus, the early settlers gave it the name Devil's Den. With crystal clear water, ancient rock formations, stalactites, fossil beds that date back 33 million years, and much more. You’re guaranteed to leave with memories that will last a lifetime! The spring has a 120 ft. surface diameter and a mushroom shape below the surface. The maximum depth is 54ft and the water is 72 degrees year-round. Devil’s Den is located in Williston, Florida between Gainesville and Ocala.
On Sunday, we will visit Blue Grotto which is the largest clear water cavern located in the heart of freshwater spring country. Blue Grotto lets you dive down to a depth of 100 feet in crystal clear (year-round 72-degree water temperature) while always being able to see the surface, so no special certification is needed to dive here. You can experience this dive location with only an open water diver certification because Blue Grotto is the safest cavern dive in the area which makes it a thrilling and fun dive for all levels of diving experience. Blue Grotto is located in Williston, Florida between Gainesville and Ocala.
