Hunter's Spring

Hunter's Spring (N 28.53.70 and W 82.35.54) is one of my favorite training sites. It is located at the Crystal River City Park, less than one half mile from the dive shop.

It has clean bathroom facilities, out door showers, a chilled water fountain, picnic tables and grills.

The swimming area has pool-like conditions with the extra added attraction of both salt water and fresh water fish to enjoy. Occasionally a manatee will drop in on the class.

A fifteen foot (15') spring is in the center of the swimming area suitable for Open Water, Advanced and Rescue Training.

Three Sister's Spring

Three Sisters Springs (N 28.53.28 and W 82.35.36) are the jewel of the river. These springs are crystal clear and each is unique. Spring one is 8' to 10' deep, spring two is 15' to 18' deep and spring three is 4' to 7' deep depending on the tide.

A favorite of divers, snorkelers and bathers the surrounding flora and fauna are breath taking. Cypress trees, air plants, spanish moss,.palmettos and host of other native plants surrond the spring.

On the coldest winter days, Manatee huddle up at Idiot's Delight Springs just out side of the entrance to Three Sisters.Often at high tide they venture into the Sisters springs to sleep after a long, cold, sleepless night.
