Rainbow River

 

I went scuba diving in Rainbow River. This was my first river dive and fresh water dive.

 

The river bed had patches of long grass and open spaces with sand, tiny rocks, and even fossils.

 

Rainbow Springs, the 4th largest spring in Florida, pumps 500 million gallons of fresh water per day, and that made for great visibility. I could easily see 80 feet. Besides the main spring, hot water also emits from caves, crevices, and sand boils like in this picture.

 

Tiff came along and snorkled the route.
