If you haven't been to Rainbow Springs you will love it. I did two drift dives there a few years back. The visibility is so great (>200ft) you forget you are in water. Fish everywhere and some really cool caves and springs and lush plant growth everywhere. Some of the other springs in that area were my first encounters with hogchoker and bluenose shiner which blew me away.
