    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Volusia Blue Spring offers a cool, consistent 73°F, a welcome break from summer heat or a warm haven in winter. The draw here, especially in colder months, is the sheer number of manatees seeking refuge; drifting through the spring run with them is a unique, quiet experience. We’ve spotted sheepshead minnows and sailfin mollies weaving through the aquatic plants, and the occasional freshwater flounder flattened against the sandy bottom. It’s a gentle drift, perfect for newer divers or those looking for something completely different from the ocean reefs. Just remember, it gets busy with snorkelers and swimmers, so timing your dive for early morning is always a good call.
