Freediving Blue Springs Florida (Take the Waters) 

the deeper you got into a cave the more anxious I got.. this sport looks like so much fun but terrifying.

5:38 "JEN" written on a rock. That's awesome.

my family whould have cook outs there when I really young great vid takes me back too my child hood

first rule of fight club.... is never think you can free dive a cave because you can hold your breath in the shower while washing your hair

Never knew this existed in Florida. Wow....brave! Amazing video! Took my breath away!

Men you guys rocks, I been going to blue spring many years i go to the sign and never saw the cave like this. Thanks great video.

Thank you for such a beautiful informative video. I am glad you made it. Yes, it is very dangerous. I have had some near misses freediving there including going up through the side cave and going into an opening that was too small and having to back out. I also went up through the cave from under and once had a scuba diver sitting on where I was supposed to come out. I calmed myself and as you said, "there is no going back". I am sure he was shocked when a hand pushed on his butt from under him but it worked. We can't be responsible for foolish people who watch a video and try to do what is out of their league. Thank you for such a great effort. Loved it.

2Brians , gentleman you are the greatest!

Thank you for this footage otherwise I would never have seen how amazing it is down there.

You move so well and easy underwater - relaxed and natural. Most freedivers could learn a lot from you.

Love Blue Springs It's where I first started and still love going. It only being about 25 to 30 minutes away helps as well. I have to agree that you have to overcome some major fears at Blue due to the darkness. I didn't have a flashlight for over a year, but what a major difference once you can see where you're going. Great video, keep'em coming.

So beautiful -- and so scary at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

I literally go here about 3 times a week and your "Shocker route" is fucking terrifying in person, I'm still working my breathing capacity as I'm just getting into freediving. But, maaan the side cave where you come out is always complete darkness when I go look inside.. yall are awesome for that (have watched this video 100 times)

I love this video, I've watched it multiple times. Great quality and awesome dives. I'm slowly working my way deeper and love to watch your videos to scope out the areas before I go!

Dude doesn’t even need weights to dive. His balls of steel keep him negatively buoyant

This inspires me so much to get better. I just fell in love with free diving and have only been to ginnie springs & this place is one for the books!! 🙏🏼💙🌀

Great job on the video. Anxious to see the rest of them. One thing I like about the back route is you can make a left turn at any point and bail out on the dive when it starts to get uncomfortable. This is such a fun place to dive but be sure you do it with someone that has dove it before.

Awesome video, Brian! I really enjoyed it. Great work!

I think I had about 6 different anxiety attacks during this video

Amazing video, I LOVE Blue Springs and can't wait to make the trip from Miami just to go back. It's paradise there!!!

So inspiring :] I am anxiously awaiting the sequel!

Amazing... One day I will visit Blue Springs.. Thanks for the videos

Jesus Christ, it looks like Gates into the Abyss... I'll never try this. Too dangerous :\ But GREAT footage!

Pretty cool i found this channel!we met at blue springs last week.

Whoa! Sick Vid, scary shit, you guys are nuts! and people think I'm crazy for floating around in oceans for hours on end all over the world in all kinds of conditions surfing waves, but this has gotta take the cake right next to the free climbers and those batsuit dudes, you guys are RAD! Big balls! Never would want to do it myself ,but thanks for sharing your experiences, be safe and god bless.

Just insane stuff! Amazing.

yea it was very fun, I love all your spearfishing vidios

One of the most beautiful places on Earth.

Thanks brian i love exploring all the springs in florida.im going to alexander springs this week.

you know this is the sickest vid

A shout out to all freedivers. There's a fledgling Facebook Group called Freediving Fanatics. I created it as a networking tool for freedivers around the world to post their photos and videos. It could also be a great way to find freediving buddies and to share info on dive locations. Although there isn't anything to this group as of yet, we can make this group page something big while promoting our own RU-vid channels, Facebook pages, instagram, websites, businesses, you name it. Please help me turn this into something we all look forward to checking each day.

How terrifying yet amazing that you have the ability to do that!

You guys are amazing and may I say a little crazy!! I could never work up the nerve!!

Thank you for this video. I’ve been thinking I’m a little crazy to want to do more free diving in blue holes. This is the first video I’ve found to be truly Inspiring! Safe adventures!

Really cool video, taking my boys tomorrow. We will definetly take it in baby steps.

I also do free diving and it does take a lot of practice. I am not a pro, and I have been to some other springs and it is kind of complicater get into a the caves with cold water. It takes a lot of time to get use to it. Great video guys.

Great work! Love the video. Great shots and good music. Great to see the different routes through the spring. Gives me some good ideas for videos once we start traveling. Thanks for putting this together. :-)

awesome video much thanks

Very cool great footage and courage

I love Blue Springs 😌 Best state park ever!

You guys are sick! Thanks!

Great video!

Killer video and location

Was there this weekend. Hit 35ft (and felt pretty good about myself!). You guys are wild. I'd love to get where you're at. Stay safe and have fun!

Awesome video, looks really professional! I was just there a couple days ago

awesome dives, very inspiring

OH HECK NO. Total respect, but you can have those caves.

❤️ blue springs!

I take great pride in saying among the few people on Earth who has dived to the bottom of this spring

Was proud of my self for swimming the full length of the tree at the mouth of the cave 15 to 20 ft. This is nuts lol.

Double wow from Fiji!

Hats off tot you dude I can go like 10 feet before needing a to breathe

O, my god! 👍 It's Awesome 😃

Holy Cow!! Thats Intense!!

I love U all, guys ))) the best video

Amazing.

I can't believe this local spring is on yt

Cool man. I love and have been.to.all the. State run springs. I'm trying.to.find the.hidden ones now.

This springs is beautiful I went today I live in Orlando and I can say I will be coming back every weekend water was freezing tho💕

Straight G, unreal

uallll Really Nice !!!!

I think I dove with your buddy there before. Really nice guy. I love the video. So great! You've done the swim through at Alexander Springs, correct?

Wow!

wow.. I would like to try that

Great video! I was just at Blue Springs Yesterday! I only got about 30ft before I had to go back up. What is the background music you're using for this video? I love it!

Awww :) Manatee and a calf

Dope!! Would love to try that. But i live in Indonesia which is far away from there. But i have lot of diving spot here, which is nice :)

uw topics kick ass. Cool.

Awesome video dude! Very well put together and looks like loads of fun too I for sure want to check pug blue springs now! I mostly swim at the springs on the wacissa. If you had advice for learning to go that long without breathing what would it be? Awesome footage. James

I have totally seen you at blue springs.

Nice edit Brian. I love freediving Ginnie and Blue Hole at Ichetucknee. Headed to Blue Springs this weekend. Any other recommendations on good free diving springs?

What kind of diving lights do you recommend or use? Love ur vids man they are very inspiring

Awesome video! What flashlight are you using? I need to get a more streamline and brighter light like yours.... Thanks!

OMG!... can you breath underwater??!Good vid. ;)

I do not want to say that you are wackee in the head but OMFN goodness what a great video! I like.. I subscribed. and thank you for sharing...

Haja fôlego.

i go there very often and I like going in the 2' cave with the 80' long tree sprawled across and In one of my dives I signed my name down there but I didn't see it in ur video

wow you guys are amazing, i choked on a wave going down five feet, i like the 15-20 free dives. i would like to do a spring. what florida spring is best for easy, fun ?

I go there with my family every year

just came back to look at that giant log by the entrance to the cave i wrote my name on it when i was a kid!

Brian, I see that you replied but I am having trouble seeing the full message. This is my concern with promoting this. Certified cave divers carry three sources of light, for a reason. If the flashlight fails somehow, hit on a rock, bulb goes out, batteries die, you're in trouble. You could have some scuba diver in your way on one of the exits. What you do is your own business, I am not telling you to stop, not my place. What I am saying is please consider the possible result of this. I spend a lot of my time gaining and keeping access for certified cave divers at sights like these. Nothing threatens access like a death, like this site just had three weeks ago. Even though the person was an open water diver or a free diver the newspaper will say "Cave Diver". Its sets my sport back in access and restricts sights to us because "Cave Diving" is dangerous. Most of the fatalities in caves are not certified cave divers, they are open water diver, and now possibly free divers. I am sure you don't want to read in the paper about some 15-year old who decided free dive through the shocker restriction, and didn't make it. Then to find out they closed the site to diving because it too dangerous.

6:48, right to the diver's left is a small, narrow opening. I went a little ways in it, but not to the end: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NdEQt1QBOxM.html

Scary as hell

Amazing! I just returned from a trip to the panhandle and Vortex Springs and I have gotten the bug to begin freediving again. Is there any certification you went through for freediving or cave freediving or is this just something you began doing? I have been freediving the Rainbow River, Crystal River and the Withlacoochee. Also, looking for a club or group of people to get in with to do some diving together and learn from. Thanks and keep going!

Brian. I would to to dive with yall sometime. Always diving Ginnie and Itchitucknee as I live in Orlando!

it looks awesome, i need to check it out. how deep can u go in the bleu spring? how deep is this cage?

amazing! How could you hold a breath so long ?

Hi. I am a teenager new to the sport of freediving. Freediving is fascinating to me, but I don't have any formal training and thus, don't really know how to practice. I can't find that many valuable resources online, so I was wondering if you had any tips for me such as good C02 or O2 tables, or your preferred exercises and breath-holding techniques. I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Claustrophobic me disagrees

Was just there this past weekend -- live in Gainesville and enjoy freediving the springs there. Blue Springs is totally worth the 2 hour drive. What is the song you used on the first dive? This is a fantastic video, I hope you make another one. I always have issues planning the shots I want.

Hey dude what kind of equipment are you using? Like mask, snorkel, fins, weight belt, etc? Thanks dude. I'm trying to get a new really good set up and just tryin to figure it out. Thx dude and great video👍👍

His brain said "stop" at 70 feet? My brain would've said stop the moment we got to the park lol - I wouldn't mind filming down there though as long as I have some oxygen... it looks beautiful!

Amazing - but I'd agree with Curt Bowen. This is dangerous to the point of being suicidal. I admire what you can do but not your choice to do it. Written by a 100ft+/2mins+ freediver but in open water with the surface in sight always.

Cool Cool Cool !!! Brian what's the temperature of water and maxium depth ?

Insane

a while ago i went snorkeling with the manatees at sister springs Florida, it was really beautiful.
