So you want to dive the fresh water springs of N. Florida. Diving the springs can be very safe and enjoyable…as long as you stay within your training limitations. There are several springs that are open water friendly, meaning you don’t have to go into an overhead. Several of these springs lead to caverns and caves. We ask that you not enter the caverns or caves without proper training and experience. Several divers, including open water instructors have died in overhead environments because they lacked the training. They left behind spouses and children wondering why their loved one went into an underwater cave.

Tens of thousands of cavern and cave dives are done every year by divers trained to dive those environments. They made the time and effort to learn how to dive these underwater treasures safely. Please don’t become another statistic. Get trained!
