Diving in Blue Springs State Recreation Area And Park Marianna, Florida
Videos I filmed while diving in Blue Springs State Recreation Area And Park in Marianna, Florida. The spring is also called Jackson Blue Spring. This spring has extremely clear water with visibility well over 50 feet the day I visited. The beautiful blue coloration of the water is due to the magnesium in the rocks deep underground in the spring. I enjoyed seeing all the healthy eel grass since it reminded me of the Kelp Forest that I dove in California.
Merritts Mill pond is attached to this location and there is a very healthy population of big bass, bluegill, and redear sunfish, which are also known by the name of shellcrackers.The former 4.86 pound world record redear sunfish was caught in Merritts Mill pond and 2-3 pound redear sunfish are caught every year in this location. In this video you can see largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, crayfish, and other wildlife.
Blue Springs Recreational Area, Florida
Me and my son went to Blue Springs Recreational Area in Marianna , Florida. The water was so clear. We did not spring swim much in the big spring area. We bought our kayak and went out more in the lake area ( Merritt's Mill Pond). It was really cool area and hop to return soon. Peace.
