Vortex Spring Resort was developed and owned by divers who have a true love for freshwater springs. The spring itself sits in a valley surrounded by rolling hills and majestic pines. It has a flow rate of nearly 28 million gallons of gin clear water per day and maintains a temperature of 68 degrees year round. The spring basin is 50 feet deep at the mouth of the ledge-like cavern and for the more experienced diver there is an additional 100 yards of diving that is a garage sized tunnel and reaches a depth of 115 feet.
Vortex Spring Resort is known as one of the largest diving facilities in the State of Florida. There are student training platforms at the 20 foot level along with a talk box for the instructor. Divisions of EMS from around the country have used this resort for their own training facility as well as dive centers from all along the Gulf Coast and beyond. Vortex Spring Resort brings individual divers on a weekly basis from all over the United States and abroad. It has been referred to as "The Mecca of Dive Training" per Southern Diver Magazine and to this day still upholds that title. On site PADI instructors offer the following classes for certification: Discover Scuba, Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Enriched Air Nitrox, First Responder (CPR), Rescue Diver, Dive Master and Cavern/Cave Diving.
In addition to Diving, Vortex Spring Resort offers canoeing, swimming with diving boards, slides, zip line, an old fashioned rope swing and snorkeling. There are also Camping Facilities to include Cabins, Lodges, Pull thru sites, primitive sites and upscale lodging. The campground is well lit and offers a bath house, picnic tables, grills, electricity and RV sewage dump station on property. There are nature trails, ATV trails, horse trails, motor cross track, go cart track and a full service dive shop/camp store to cater to all of the customer's needs.
This property includes the 1800 sq foot manager's home/classroom/office facility and the option of the 7800 sq foot main residence and 3200 sq ft private garage pre-foreclosure.
Vortex Spring is a privately owned Natural Resource, a freshwater spring and has surrounding acreages that help to support it. It has been more than proven to be an excellent training facility on public and EMS levels as well as a great source for public recreation due to all of the amenities this property offers.
In addition to the Natural Resource there are miles of trails already developed and there is plenty of room for expansion of all existing trails. There is also plenty of land to dedicate to forestland and wetlands that are created by nearby creeks and flow from the spring itself.
The surrounding acreages to this property are also available if it is so desired.
Vortex Spring Resort has been developed, managed and maintained by the Dockery family for over 35 years. It has been a true labor of love as the developer/owner of Vortex Spring who was also a diver and the creator of the Divers Down Flag.
