Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Alexander Springs
Alexander is a very calm spring of 80 meters wide. There are small caverns. The main one can be penetrated for about 10 ft (entrance at 23 feet). There is a lot of marine wildlife here and a chance you might even see an alligator!
Alexander Spring is 17 miles NE of Deland in the Ocala National Forest. Travel W on SR 40 from Ocala. Turn right on CR 445A just before the town of Astor. Follow 445A past the sharp turn to the E. Watch signs to parking area.

scuba
My son and I went down on a sunny Saturday in April. This was our first solo dive after getting our C card. The facilities were nice with hot shower to rinse off. There was a scuba class going on with about 15 divers while we were there. They DO NOT have a fill station or equipment at this location. There are a lot of swimmers and snorkelers as well. Max depth on our PUCK was 23 feet with 72F temperature. Our next outing is going to be Troy Springs near Lake City. We want to practice our buoyancy and get used to our equipment.
