You might think of the ocean when you think of diving in Florida, but the state is also home to numerous stunning freshwater springs: crystal clear and filled with marine plants and animals just beckoning to be explored. The Nemo tankless dive system makes it easy for you to slip beneath the surface and take a closer look at some of the best springs in Florida.

The Five Best Florida Springs for Diving

1. Alexander Springs

Nestled in the Ocala National Forest is Alexander Springs, always a balmy 72-degrees Fahrenheit and shallow enough for both divers and snorkelers. It is perfect for the Nemo, offering you an up-close-and-personal look at bluegill and other fish. Outside the water, you can enjoy a picnic or go hiking or biking with your Nemo securely tucked away in its backpack.

2. Blue Spring

About 45 minutes away from Orlando, Blue Spring is a stunning example of one of the best springs in Florida. It is popular with not just divers but also tubers, swimmers, and manatees. The water is always at the right temperature, and the spring discharges about 100 gallons a day. Along with manatees, a wide range of wildlife calls this spring home, including fish, eagles, ospreys, and kingfishers.

3. Rainbow Springs

One of the largest springs in Florida, Rainbow Springs produces nearly 500 gallons of water a day, feeding the Rainbow and Withlacoochee Rivers. These sapphire waters are cool and filled with diverse species of fish as well as turtles and other wildlife.

4. Silver Glen Springs

More than just another spring, Silver Glen Springs includes not just a beautiful spring run feeding a nearby lake but also a historically significant archaeological site. A dive here will bring you face-to-face with diverse fish and fossilized snail shells in waters that are aquamarine and crystal clear.

5. Salt Springs

This spring gets its name from the salinity it draws from the earth as it rushes forth, with the ancient cypresses lining its borders. Local rumors are that Salt Springs is home to the legendary Fountain of Youth, and you might just believe it as you dip your toe into their refreshing waters. A dip with your Nemo might not take years off your biological age, but it will leave you feeling rejuvenated and more prepared to tackle anything life has in store for you.
