     This place is out in the country, in the middle of a pasture! You can bring the family and picnic, swim or even ride horses.  They have a dive shop, and the spring out back of it. 

     I highly recommend this place.  My nephew and I did 3 dives (I really wanted to finish after 2), but they were interesting. The maximum depth was 51 feet, kind of a let down, but there were plenty of rocks and crevasses to swim through.  The water temperature, like most of the springs was 72 but it felt good since it was 90+ outside.  They have an air compressor here, so don't bother to bring more than one tank.  You set your gear up on picnic tables right by the steps (long, long, many steps), that lead to the spring.  Those steps aren't too bad going down, but after the dive, you will give your legs a nice little work out...
