Dive-site story
Fed by first-magnitude natural springs, this gentle freshwater drift carries divers downstream over white sand beds, lush eelgrass meadows, and limestone outcroppings. Small spring vents bubble up from the river bottom throughout the route, revealing fossilized shark teeth and prehistoric artifacts embedded in the sediment. The spring-fed flow remains remarkably clear throughout all four seasons.
Gentle freshwater drift dive over undulating grass flats and limestone formations
Active bubbling sand boils and small spring vents along the river bottom
High probability of sifting for fossilized shark teeth in gravel patches
Abundant native freshwater fauna including turtles, bass, and longnose gar
