Snorkeling in Florida
 This
is the undiscovered Florida. A place where
water and life begin from a source that
bubbles up directly from the ground. Florida
Springs flow the purest, clearest, and freshest
water in the world with underwater views
that are absolutely breathtaking. Ponce
De Leon once thought they were the "fountain
of youth" when he first discovered
them. There are over 300 freshwater springs
throughout Florida. Some can be explored
over 200 feet deep for nearly a mile underground.
Others can barely be seen with their small
flow of water. Some are deep in the woods
and covered in dense forrest. Others are
Florida state parks that are visited by
thousands of people per day.
The average temperature of a Florida Spring
is 72 degrees year round which makes it
excellent for scuba diving and snorkeling.
The springs are fed through Florida's underground
aquifer (a river that runs beneath Florida)
dumping millions of gallons of water daily.
The limestone rock filters the water making
it crystal clear. Listed are just some of
the many springs that can be visited in
Florida. Each spring includes a description
and directions how to get there. Enjoy!
