Scuba diving in the Orlando is one Central Florida’s best kept secrets. Buried within the vast limestone aquifer that contains millions of gallons of fresh crystal-clear water are over 600 caves, springs and caverns just waiting to be explored. Many have been developed and preserved as regular tourist dive sites, but others remain undiscovered and are known only to a few local divers. The water is spectacular and always warm. The visibility is amazing, and the limestone formations are like those seen in Cousteau’s best movies. For the very experienced diver there are long underwater trails to be followed that are often as deep as 200’, while for the less experienced there are sites like the Blue Grotto, Ginnie Springs and Manatee Springs that will surpass your wildest expectations and keep your adrenaline pumping. From Orlando these dive sites can be reached within a couple of hours’ drive, and most local dive shops will be more than happy to supply maps and details. It is a dive experience that is far more rewarding than most shallow ocean dives.
