Silver Springs Underwater Manatee Cam

An Underwater Window on the Springs

This 180-degree camera sits on the spring floor of Silver Springs State Park, offering an immersive look at a habitat usually reserved for divers. The famously clear, constant-temperature water of these artesian springs makes every detail of the submerged scene visible in remarkable clarity.

Resident Manatees and Wildlife

Silver Springs is a vital refuge for the gentle West Indian manatee, which grazes on the rich beds of aquatic vegetation in view of the lens. Schools of fish, freshwater turtles and even alligators share these waters, making each moment unpredictable and alive.

A Historic Florida Landmark

The Silver Springs have welcomed travelers since the 1870s and pioneered the glass-bottom boat tour. The surrounding state park protects one of the largest artesian spring formations on Earth, a centerpiece of Florida's natural heritage.
