6 Dreamy Florida Destinations That Will Immerse You In An Underwater World
Being surrounded by water, Florida offers even more places to explore than just on land.

If you’re looking for a new kind of adventure to set sail on, then check out these dreamy underwater Florida destinations that will immerse you in an underwater world.
You can grab your fins and bathing suit and dive into a whole new world on these amazing underwater excursions. But if you’re more “doggy paddle” than “butterfly stroke,” don’t worry! Several of these spots can be enjoyed on dry land, too.
From underwater worlds to crystal clear springs and unique dining experiences, these Florida spots will take you to Ariel’s world and show you just how much better it is under the sea.
