Hi there, we live right in the midst of all the Springs and yes while there isn’t as much marine life there are other things to look at and enjoy (the fossils, the light, the fauna). A couple of more suggestions if looking for fish: Rainbow River is a great dive and I never get bored there, shallow dive but a fun drift dive. Also, Kings Bay in Crystal River, while viz can be not that great, tons of really large fish (and an occassional Manatee :) A group of us may be going out on the 30th if you are interested in taggin along - trying to figure out where and there is the Galaxy Dive at Ginnie on New Years.
