Spring Run Diving

It's nice to see some new Gator divers with school back in session! Great job to Lex, Eadie, and David on their open water certifications.

Come out and enjoy the springs with us! We teach introductory open water diving through technical/cave specialties in Florida cave country. Now scheduling new classes in January 2027.

Last weekend some of our recent students joined us for another guided fun dive drifting down Rainbow River. Plenty of gar and bass to go around! We hit up Swampy’s afterwards for a post-dive lunch!

It can be hard to get back in the water after your open water certification. Guided fun dives are a great chance for newly certified divers to see new sites and meet new buddies!

Our group dives are free and open to Spring Run’s graduates, at no additional charge (beyond dive site entry fees). Limited complimentary gear available for past students.

Another great rescue and oxygen administration class! Congrats to Braydon, Melanie, and Maggie on surviving the ordeal. Remember to go back for the second victim during an emergency!

A special thanks to divemaster candidates Erin and Katey for their help and acting skills.

The Rescue Diver course involves mastering self-rescue techniques, assisting others effectively, and managing potential panic situations underwater. Contact us for more information!

We had a great time working with Abigail, Lea, and Will on their open water class with the help of our new divemaster candidate Katey! It's nice to see the water level at fanning starting to rise with the recent summer rains.

Thanks Bill. Please keep up the pretense of being an adult while TDI reviews the application 🐐 A huge thanks to you, Joe, and Justin for all your mentorship over the past few years. Looking forward to bringing others to the dark side!

If you’re interested in Intro to Cave, AN/DP (Advanced Nitrox & Deco Procedures), or Intro to Tech, reach out - now scheduling classes for fall 2026 & spring 2027.

Congrats to Kaley and Zach on their first experience diving! Discover Scuba Dives (DSD) are a great way for uncertified divers to try scuba diving in the springs before committing to a full open water course.

Had a great time with Amanda, Adam, Sam, and Nancy last weekend in our open water class. Adam joined us to finish up his checkout dives (ask us about referrals for PADI or SDI!) at Manatee and Troy, before the brownout. And special congrats to Sam and Nancy in joining Lily as certified open water divers - it’s always great to see friends and family join in the fun!

Had a great time this weekend working with Sam, Maggie, Kai, and Adela on their advanced open water (advanced adventure) diver course! Spent the first day at Hudson navigating in low vis, with a deep dive to the bus at 100’. We rounded off the weekend with live drift dives off Jupiter with Kyalami Divers. It’s turtle nesting season in Jupiter, and we spotted nearly a dozen loggerhead turtles on the reef!

Time for a non-diving post!

We began fostering River, an extremely sweet hound dog from the Alachua County Animal Shelter during the wildfire evacuation a few weeks ago. While we'd love to keep him ourselves, we already have two dogs who keep our hands full.

Feel free to reach out if you or someone you know would be interested in adopting this fine fellow. We'd be happy to arrange a meet and greet!

We've got 2-3 spots open for an Advanced Open Water (AOW) / Advanced Adventure Diver class next month, June 13-14. We'll spend one day in the springs (Hudson or Buford, conditions depending) and one day doing ocean dives off a local Jupiter (or Tampa) charter.

Complimentary rental gear included.

We highly recommend diving Nitrox to give you extra bottom time on the boat, and offer a heavily discounted TDI technical nitrox cert ($100; evening pre-trip workshop) for our AOW students. This hands-on workshop goes in depth into the science of diving nitrox, and certifies you for gas mixes of up to 40% O2.
