Vortex Spring Adventures

Vortex Spring is a freshwater dive, swim and camping resort located in beautiful Northwest Florida. A unique Florida gem open all four seasons. Created by Doc and Ruth Dockery, Vortex Spring is home to the Red & White "Diver Down" Flag and is one of the largest diving facilities in the state of Florida. Vortex Spring is recognized as one of the best and safest diving resorts in the country. This 520-acre playground produces approximately 28 million gallons of crystal "gin" clear water daily at a year-round temperature of 68 degrees.

Dive into a day of aquatic excitement at Vortex Spring Adventures, where endless water activities await your enjoyment. Whether you seek the thrill of high-speed slides, the tranquility of a leisurely float on a tube, or anything in between, our waterpark has something for everyone.

The spring basin is 50 feet deep at the mouth of the cavern. Surface lit during the day and inhabited by Koi, Gar, Catfish, American Eels, Redhorse Suckers, Blue Gill, and Bass to name a few. These will surely be your constant companions and are tame enough to eat right out of your hand, an underwater photographer's dream. The cavern continues another one hundred yards, to a depth of 115 feet at the cave system security gate. The white sand bottom and shimmering air pockets make for a breathtaking experience!
