Diving & Snorkeling in Citrus County
Experience a Whole New World of Beauty Under Citrus County Waters
Armed with little more than a swim mask and a snorkel, you’re ready to explore the close-in world where the rivers of Citrus County flow into the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a world of beautiful fish, interesting plant and animal life at the river’s headwaters or along the sea floor, and the winter home of manatees who favor the comparatively warmer waters here. But you’re not as well insulated as a manatee, and you may want to consider a wet suit.
Just about anyone can enjoy snorkeling, and for the more adventurous, scuba excursions probe deeper waters. Springs and sinkholes can challenge even the most expert scuba diver. It is vitally important to have the proper training and a knowledgeable guide when undertaking exploratory dives, and to follow some sensible safety procedures. Any of the commercial establishments specializing in scuba gear can recommend training, locate a suitable guide and double-check your equipment.
