Whether you are new to the sport or an expert, scuba diving at Fanning Springs State Park is a truly wondrous experience. With crystal-clear, 72-degree water and maximum depth of only 18 to 21 feet, it is a great place to begin your underwater adventures or knock the rust off if you haven’t been diving or snorkelling in a while.
With a large basin and three different entrance points, Fanning Spring offers diving for all experience levels.
Divers can submerge into the spring boil and see the water as it exits the Floridan aquifer. Limestone outcrops and fallen cypress logs ad to the picturesque scenery.
Musk turtles abound in the spring, and divers can often see tiny freshwater flounder scuttling across the sandy bottom. During colder months, manatees are frequent visitors to the springs and may cause closure of diver access to ensure suitable warm-water habitat for this threatened species.
