FYI.... Blue Spring in Orange City, Florida is actively 'enforcing' a policy of NO swimming or diving if there is a manatee in the water. There will be manatees there until mid March (my best guess). Essentially this closes the place to diving for a few (winter) months.
Here is a link to the official state park site:

Do you know if they reopen the spring to divers after the manatees leave the run? Typically the manatees head out sometime late morning.
Is this a "new & improved with more teeth" enforcment program, or is this to the same level as it has been in the past?
Yeah that is a good description of the new policy...Quote:
