This dive site offers a unique Florida experience. The Rainbow River is known for its exceptionally clear, fresh spring water with visibility extending up to 200 feet. The river’s water is naturally filtered by grass beds and dotted with beautiful spring beds on the bottom. You'll also discover intriguing features like shark teeth and fossils scattered throughout the area. A small cavern awaits at the end of the dive. The maximum depth of the river is 25 feet, making it suitable for snorkelers and divers alike, providing longer bottom times than deeper dives. During your drift along the Rainbow River, a flag attached to the boat ensures you don’t have to swim against the current. Don't forget to bring a camera – the views are truly amazing! Bird species also inhabit this area.
