Moving to crystal river need 411 on dive spots

[BigDustyman]

Im moving to crystal river next month was wondering if ther is any good diving off the coast near crystal river, also looking for dive buddies.

I'm sure there is but I have never been diving in the Gulf up there. I think most of the diving up in that area is done in Springs. You are pretty close to cave country up there so there is plenty of diving. Welcome to the area and the board.

Rainbow Spring (river) is real nice...Lot's of Manatees there also.

King spring,in Crystal River/Manatee spgs,in Chiefland/Blue Grotto and Devils Den in Williston/Paradise spring in Ocala/Ginnie springs in High spgs.Get a copy of Underwater Florida at most dive shops for dive sites in the Gulf.

There are a few good spots out in the gulf but it's a bit of a ride to get deeper than 50'.

I'm curious but do any of the dive operators in the Crystal River area have gulf trips?
