Scuba Diving the Rainbow River at K.P. Hole County Park in Dunnellon, Florida

On March 20, 2008 Carole and Jay Furr did a drift scuba dive in the Rainbow River at K.P. Hole County Park near Dunnellon, Florida.   The tour was run by the staff at Bird's Underwater Dive Center in Crystal River, Florida.   The water was almost disturbingly clear; it was just like flying.  Absolutely beautiful conditions, and we scarcely needed our 3/2 millimeter wet suits.
