Over 100 million gallons of water flow through Blue Springs daily, rushing up limestone walls shaped like a human rib cage. As one of Florida’s 33 first-magnitude springs, it discharges 100 cubic feet per second. While the surface offers a refreshing escape for visitors, below, it's cold, dark, and euphoric—70 feet underwater in complete isolation.
