This is a video I took on a ~45 minute Rainbow River drift dive with the divers from Ohio back in February. The little springs that bubble up throughout the river have just enough flow to make the sand look like a pot of boiling water... or witches brew! The little fish darting in and out of view are a mix of bluegill (Lepomis machrochirus mystacalis) and redbreast (Lepomis auritus) sunfish. Behind me there are 6 more divers and a dive flag that I towed so we didn't get run over by pontoon boats in the shallow parts of the river (in some places, it's only about 4 feet deep).
Photography, science, exploration, and a quest to swim in every 1st Magnitude spring in Florida...
