PARADISE SPRINGS

This waterway is actually a sinkhole but it is open to the public for scuba diving and swimming. If you are interested in scuba diving, you’ll need to contact the Springs directly to schedule this. Depths are about 140 ft and as you enter the water, you’ll encounter a cavern. If you are open water diving, you should stop at 99 ft where you’ll be greeted by signage – after this point you’ll lose all surface light.

LOCATION: 4040 Southeast 84th Lane Road Ocala, FL 34480
