The wreck lies in about 25 ft / 7.6 m and is best treated as a shallow protected archaeological wreck on reef, not a penetration dive.

Alexander Springs

Florida · 1.5–7.6 m

Alexander Springs is a first-magnitude spring in the Ocala National Forest and the only site in the forest where scuba diving is allowed. The broad, gin-clear pool slopes from a sandy swim beach to roughly 25 ft over the vent, making it one of Florida's best easy dives for newly certified divers and training classes. The recreation area includes a campground, bathhouse and canoe launch on the lush, palm-lined spring run.
