fish are record-size. Entry and exits are assisted by strong docks with stairs
to aid in managing SCUBA equipment. You learn to dive wearing top
of the line Dive Rite and Scubapro dive gear. If you have special needs,
be sure to let us know. We have successfully trained SCUBA students
with major physical challenges as well as serious water fear issues.
Vortex Spring produces 28 million gallons of crystal clear water daily at a year-round
temperature of 68 degrees with no thermocline. It is one of Mother Nature's most extraordinary creations! Vortex
waters flow out to create "Blue Creek," an excellent opportunity for photos while snorkeling &/or canoeing. Blue
Creek flows over four miles before entering another northern Florida waterway.
Vortex provides drinking water to surrounding communities and has been
used for emergency firefighting needs.
