Manatee Spring (main spring)
Open water diving; cave divers may enter: Florida State Parks diving rules [1] (Cavern diving is listed for the Catfish Hotel, not the main spring.). 以下分类采用该认证体系自身的命名方式，用于描述该潜点所需的培训级别。
The first-magnitude headspring of Manatee Springs State Park, open to open water divers and used by cave divers as an entrance to the Manatee cave system; strong current and park diver limits.
The main spring is the swimming area of Manatee Springs State Park, a broad first-magnitude boil feeding a quarter-mile run to the Suwannee River. Florida State Parks warns that the current is swift.
Open water divers may dive the main spring, and cave divers may also enter the cave system here. Freediving and swimming are permitted in the main spring but not at the Catfish Hotel. Manatees often use the spring in cooler months, and divers must keep at least 50 feet from them.
环境
High-flow spring basin with swift current; water about 22°C year-round; tannic river water can back up the spring run during Suwannee floods.
环境条件
Swift current. When the Suwannee River floods, dark tannic water fills the spring run and visibility drops. Manatees are present in cooler months.
典型范围来自已发表资料，不代表当前实际状况。
设施
Shower station, boardwalk, picnic areas, campground and canoe/kayak launch are listed by the park. A notice effective 2026-01-14 said the waterfront restroom was closed.
