As the other posts said,visually, it's not impressive from the surface. A 20 foot surface pool sitting in a 30 ft sink, but wait untill you see it from the water. I was not prepared for the size of the cavern, you will need lights, in fact they require them. Pop down to 60 and 90 ft and look back... more
Paradise Springs ia a great, mostly unknown place to dive. It's not in the Who's Who of springs, but not because it doesn't deserve it. Paradise is owned by a husband and wife team who literally use their garage for gear storage and site orientation. Don't expect anything special like a retail shop or a snack bar. Ocala is just... more
Paradise Springs is my private oasis. From the moment I turn off the main drag, hit the dirt road, I begin to mentally and physically decompress from the other world. A dive destination to be savored in slo mo: Enjoy the drive, pay attention to the dive video that you will view in spring owner Curtis' garage. Rent a light... more

There are clear pathways and decks at the springs, picnic tables all around, a gazebo, a bathroom with an electric fan/heater where you can keep warm while changing. The owner, Curtis, is a PADI instructor and... more
Excellent dive!!! But the place is getting run down. Paradise lost! the father gave this to the son to run. He is not a scuba fan. Weeds growing around the condemmed office. You sign up from his garage. Your $30 dive fee is not going to upkeep....it's going to his motorcycle collection. Also, be weary of his tank refills. Equipment... more
Although easy to find in most Scuba guides, Paradise Springs is almost unknown and very little appreciated among the diving community outside the Ocala area. The place is privately owned, and it features a dramatic and beautiful crevice the drops down to approximately 140 ft beneath the Earth surface. It gives divers the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful prehistorical setting... more
