Description

This film includes beautiful color footage of divers descending into the Wakulla Springs cavern. Divers swim through deep, dark areas of the caves with their diving lights. Glass bottom boat tours pass overhead. Divers swim through eel grass and a hollowed out log on the bottom of the spring. Various fish species, including largemouth bass, Florida gar, mullet, bluegill, American shad and brown bullhead, swim through the water. Two divers examine what appears to be a large mammoth bone, and another diver shoots pictures using an underwater camera.
