Florida Springs Closed

[RebeliousOatmeal]

Hey guys, I am taking a trip down from NY to Orlando Florida in a few days and was planning on doing some spring diving. I know that during the summer months, the manatees use the springs as a refuge to stay warm but which springs does this effect? I think Blue Springs is one of them. They don't all close down, but some are off limits to diving for this part of the year.

Also which springs can you recommend for some good diving; either cave diving or for depth. Thanks guys!

Not sure when Blue closes, but its closed now, till spring.

Troy, Orange Grove and Ginnie are open but far from Orlando, Alexander should be open and its close to Orlando. Green Cove springs isn't deep, but its pretty.

Orange Grove is a great depth dive and is supposed to be clear now. Ignore the duck weed.
