Freediving Morrison springs in ponce de Leon

  • I have been going a bit stir crazy and worry my gills might dry up completely so a friend and I have been taking weekend camping trips to the springs just to get wet.


    There's lots more video but without any fish getting shot I figured 3 minutes is more than enough. Anyways it's a great time really, it's a five hour drive for me and I never regret it. Dive all day, relax and camp out and do it again. Only downside is it goes from crystal clear and solitude in the morn to complete scuba saturation by noon and apparently kicking up sediment is part of tank diving 101. Bikini buns usually follow though so everything's relative.


    Deeper cave is 62 feet to the entrance but a strong outflow makes it hard to enter, I did a few times but need a flash light. The larger horizontal cave is around 35 feet but goes in at least another 40 feet


    Whatever I did I screwed up and it's 480p so best viewed on little screens

  • I think so, maybe just a water snake. It was hard to tell by the shape of its head cause it was all spread open around that catfish


    I just looked at again, yeah I think the first one is a brown water snake.

  • Very nice lovely background video with cave and the tour with family weekend is always the children that image when they are small. :thumbsup2:


    Were you looking for the source of the lost youth of Ponce de Leon?:rolleyes1:;):D


    Haha yes Ramon, but I'm not the first to look for the fountain of youth

  • Cool video, good editing, I enjoyed it.


    Part of the fun is crushing the bubble blowers' egos no? :laughing:


    Are those the Speardiver CK fins we shot with an air rifle?


    Yes indeed they are those CKs. They are missing a few corners and water channels but whenever I try other people's fins I just like mine

  • I was just down there last week freediving with my buddy Connor, from Sarasota.
    We dove Morrison and 9 other springs over 4 days I was there. Orange, Troy, Peacock were the ones I remember. Weekdays were great but Sat/Sun was a shitshow with the same stuff you mentioned. We did Ginny as well but it was nowhere near as cool as the other spots.
    Orange was my favourite.
    It was my first trip to Fla. You are in a beautiful part of the world.
    Great video.
    Cheers,
    Erik.

    Are those the Speardiver CK fins we shot with an air rifle 6 years ago?


    Me, my youngest son and my Niece were there a few years ago. I scared the crap out of 2 guys with rebreathers on. I was up in the little cavern when they bravely swam in.


    He came to our picnic table later and said "how long can you hold your @#$%&n breath?"
