Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, seahorses, sea turtles and mantis shrimp - Eagles Nest Reef offers some of Florida Springs's richest reef diving. Water ranges 16-31°C, warmest June, July, August.
Eagles Nest Reef is more cave than reef, a serious technical dive for those with the training. The entrance opens into a massive cavern, then tunnels extend for hundreds of feet into the aquifer. We’re talking zero visibility if stirred, so proper finning is critical. It’s a profound experience, but strictly for highly experienced cave divers, not your casual recreational plunge.
