Paradise Springs

Fantastic place to dive. I agree with the other divers comments on having some experience to dive here. We did two dives in one day and didn't see it all. Beautiful for sure! The owners are great people and very accommodating. Worth every penny!! We had the place to ourselves which was so lucky. Didnt have to worry about other divers kicking up sediment. We've been diving springs all over Florida and this is one of the best places. Cant wait to go back again!!

Very interesting dive. It’s a cavern off the beaten path but a must do dive. The cavern drops down to 100 feet. The walls of the cavern are full of fossils. We saw sand dollar, sea biscuits, a whale rib & some lizard bones. The cavern is very beautiful. We will be back for more exploring.

We did not get the chance to dive this site due to mis-information given over the phone with the owner and via websites and Facebook, so I feel the need to share some information without bashing the owner.nnFirst things first; call ahead to make sure that the owners are there the day you want to dive, and that they will allow you to come. The rules seem to change every time the wind blows. Websites and Facebook are not listing the current rule Right now the owner wants a diver to have more than 17 dives or previous overhead diving experience and excellent buoyancy control. She advised me when we were planning to go to this site a year ago that if I got my buddy to dive Devils Den comfortably, she could dive Paradise even with her limited experience. This year the story is different. Now she wants Blue Grotto experience, and Devils Den is no good. Sigh. I'm upset, as one may imagine, as my dive buddy is traveling from Tennessee to dive this location and is being turned away for the second time, even after following previous instructions, but I get it. So, we'll waste our money diving boring old Blue Grotto, and maybe next year we can do Paradise. Be forewarned, owner lady; if you change the rules on me again, I'm jumping the fence and diving in the nude! :) Dive safe, be blessed.

Great little dive site. It's not usually too crowded and the fee is reasonable. The facilities are a little older/run down, but not bad. Nice place to get some depth (nearly 100 feet) in an overhead environment.

Great place to practice deeper dives or do line drills.
