Hey Steemers!
I wanted to show you the beautiful Blue Springs of Florida. I went the last 4 days in a row! It was a lot of fun and I wouldn't doubt that I would go back in the next few days (but I hope to visit some new ones soon).
Below are some pics I took underwater with a "Water-Proof" camera that broke after four pictures (two of which were bad), so unfortunately I could not get more. I think I'm going to invest in a Go Pro... We will see!
Springs are all about preservation of the forests, rocks, and nature, so taking away souvenirs is a big no no. Lol. They rent out cheap tubes, canoes and kayaks, so it's a great place to go for that as well, but we just decided to swim in the mouth of the spring because it is the coolest part!
Here is the mouth of the spring below:
About 10 years ago, I got to dive this crevice! It is really cool! We went down about 60 feet even though it goes down about 120 ft. For seasoned and beginner divers it is an awesome dive! I recommend it if you are down here at any point. Not a lot of fish swim around this point of the river, but there are thousands of Gar and Manatee around half way up towards the main St. Johns river. Feeding the river 102 million gallons of fresh water a day (thank you Wikipedia)!
Hope you can get out here and visit a few of our beautiful Florida springs Steemers! A few more I've visited are Alexander Springs and Devils Den (which is now closed to anyone except for Scuba Divers). Happy Trails!
