This is the undiscovered Florida. There are so many people that live in Florida and have never had the opportunity to visit the crystal clear water of
Florida's natural springs. Ponce DeLeon thought
they were the "fountain of youth" when he first discovered them. One trip to them and you'll think the same, I guarantee it. There are several springs throughout Florida that can be snorkeled, scuba dived, and explored by anyone. Almost every spring keeps a steady 72 degree water temperature year round. Cold for Floridians but not for Northerners ( I suggest a wetsuit). The springs are feed through Florida's underground aquifer, dumping thousands of gallons of water daily. The limestone rock filters the water making it crystal clear. I've listed just some of the many springs throughout Florida that I've visited. Enjoy!
