Alexander is a very calm spring of 80 meters wide. There are small caverns. The main one can be penetrated for about 10 ft (entrance at 23 feet). There is a lot of marine wildlife here and a chance you might even see an alligator!

Alexander Spring is 17 miles NE of Deland in the Ocala National Forest. Travel W on SR 40 from Ocala. Turn right on CR 445A just before the town of Astor. Follow 445A past the sharp turn to the E. Watch signs to parking area.

Alexander Springs

There was an article in the local paper recently about the state's removal of 1000 cu. yards of sand removed from the spring head. If you haven't seen Alexander recently, you'll find it's much bigger and deeper now. I'll post again after we get up there and dive it.
