man cave diving in scuba gear at wes skiles peacock springs in florida
The nature trail at Wes Skiles Peacock Springs is temporarily closed due to ongoing hurricane clean-up efforts. Orange Grove Sink will be temporarily closed for diving and swimming due to the replacement of access stairs. Access to P1, P2, and P3 springs will remain open during this project. For more information and updates, please visit the park’s official website.
Orange Grove Sink is located inside Wes Skiles Peacock Springs State Park. Orange Grove Sink is a great place for cavern and cave diving, open water diving, and swimming. It is common to see a layer of green floating on the surface of Orange Grove Sink. That is called Duckweed which is a small flowering plant and it is a nutritious food source for fish, ducks, and geese.
