The Living Seas
Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, seahorses, sea turtles and mantis shrimp - The Living Seas offers some of Florida Springs's richest cave diving. Water ranges 16-31°C, warmest June, July, August.
The Living Seas in Florida Springs offers a unique diving experience within an artificial habitat. We've found it's less about natural reefs and more about exploring large, open tanks designed to simulate ocean environments, often with sharks and turtles. It’s ideal for divers keen on observing larger pelagics in a controlled setting, perhaps as an introduction before open ocean encounters. Expect clear, consistent visibility and a relaxed pace.
