Indian Springs
Closed to divers
Not open to the public: the spring lies on the private grounds of Camp Indian Springs (YMCA) and is only open to permitted groups, not in the summer months. Another source mentions access for properly trained cave divers with a qualified guide. In Wakulla Springs State Park next door cave divers can go to Emerald Sink.
