    I was there this week. My husband, sister, and sister’s husband went on a short trip. The springs weren’t as busy as I’ve seen them get in other videos I watched for research purposes, but there were people there. Luckily not enough to make it feel crowded. We floated down the river on an inflatable rafter and got to see lots of turtles and just soak up the sun. We viewed Dogwood Spring and then walked to Ginnie Spring and swam there. The springs are sooooo clear and cool and refreshing. They are beautiful. I definitely recommend bringing or renting goggles/diving mask to view the water from underneath the surface. It is gorgeous. We stayed in an AirBnb right around the corner from the Great Outdoors restaurant and we traveled to Gainesville to experience other restaurants, including Gator’s Dockside that had an amazing Cajun shrimp pasta. I highly recommend staying in High Springs or Gainesville and going to Ginnie Springs.

    And...72 degrees sounds comfortable, give it about 15-20 minutes, it will feel like ice. It's so clear that when diving, if you didn't see the bubbles it would seem as if you were floating above the ground.

    We started going there in the early 80s. And probably 3-4 times a year. But no more. This is not a hidden gem any more. All of the area springs are so over crowded. Weekends are horrible, loud Spanish music plays all knight. 10 o'clock is supposed to be quite time at night but no one their to enforce that rule. Employees leave at the end of the day,and you are on your own. NO PIECE AT ALL BECAUSE EVERYBODY NOW BRINGS GENERATORS,HUNDREDS OF THESE THANGS RUN ALL NITE LONG. TO POWER STEREO EQUIPMENT AT HIGH LEVELS. FEELS LIKE AFTER A HURRICANE HAS COME THROUGH. THE SPANISH COMMUNITY HAS TAKEN OVER THIS WITH NO REGARD TO ANYONE ELSE. IF YOU GO HERE I RECOMMEND GOING ON TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY. TO AVOID ALL THE RIFF RAFF,DOPE SMOKE AND JUST A TON OF UNRULY DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE.

      It’s like that everywhere you go nowadays. But only on the weekends cause the poor have to work so yea just go out during the weekdays and there should be mostly rich whites who are always quiet, respectful, fearful of immigrants and dead inside. You might get the rich black group made up mostly of college kids, so you might have to listen to some rap against your will but don’t confront them cause they might be rich but they still black and they will fist fight you faster than you can say “honey, call 911” so don’t embrace new cultures or interact with new people. Stick with your own kind at all costs and enjoy the water. 😂

If your cavern certified most of the tunnels are around 90 but can get deeper or shallower. If your a really advanced cave diver the new section has some deeper areas
