Vortex Spring is the premier inland Florida dive resort on the Gulf Coast & the largest diving facility in the state. Since 1972 Vortex has been recognized as one of the best & safest diving destinations in the U.S. This Panhandle diver paradise is "the Mecca of dive training" says Southern Diver Magazine. Northern Florida has a crown jewel in this treasure that offers a diving class for every lev

el of SCUBA training which is scheduled at your convenience. Every open water certified diver gets a superior adventure, and Vortex offers cavern and cave diving for certified cavern and cave divers. Vortex offers professional instructors, clear visibility & diving 364 days a year. Vortex is a top ranked training facility and offers SCUBA diving training at any level. Great course prices are only the beginning. Vortex offers a w**d free, clear spring dive. Wildlife is abundant and approachable. Some of our fish are record-size. Entry and exits are assisted by strong docks with stairs to aid in managing SCUBA equipment. If you have special needs, be sure to let us know. We have successfully trained SCUBA students with major physical challenges as well as serious water fear issues. Vortex Spring produces 28 million gallons of crystal clear water daily at a year-round temperature of 68 degrees with no thermocline. It is one of Mother Nature's most extraordinary creations! Vortex waters flow out to create "Blue Creek," an excellent opportunity for photos while snorkeling &/or canoeing. Blue Creek flows over one half mile before entering another northern Florida waterway. Vortex provides drinking water to surrounding communities and has been used for emergency firefighting needs.

In Loving Memory of Dolly Parton 💙 Some people leave a mark on the world, and some leave a mark on your heart. Dolly meant the world to everyone including the owners of Vortex, and this photo captures a memory she will forever cherish. Her music, her kindness, her generosity, and the joy she brought to so many made her truly one of a kind.

Dolly once said, “My dream was to make as many people happy as I could in this life.” And she did just that. 💙 Today, our Vortex Spring family joins Angela Dockery and millions around the world in remembering a woman whose light reached far beyond the stage.

Thank you for the music, the memories, the laughter, and the love, Dolly. Your legacy will live on forever. 🦋 Rest easy, Dolly. You made this world a whole lot brighter.
