No I didnt mean to discourage. I just implied that in the lower flow springs it is better on weekdays.
Blue Grotto is nice. I liked Paradise better but would say if you got the chance do both.
I am lost as to that crystal river post...
The name was King’s not Kiss.
Vis has been poor for about 2 to 3 years +. I would call King’s Spring a cave dive due to vis. Also as to the deep reference... its 50’...........................
3 Sisters is a must for the first timer I love the place it is crystal clear still...
Dont try to drift dive the river. thats a hell of a swim in low vis and looowww flow..
If you dont own a boat then your gonna need to rent one. last summer we did see tubers swim it but I wouldnt suggest it. A boat rental on your own and a map the hotel will give you will be all you need to find the hot spots.. If you hire a boat you are under their time restraints.
Manatees will be everywhere this time of year.
Let me know if you need any more help.
