I dove on a fresh water upwelling in the Gulf of Mexico. When the dive master told us what it was, I took my regulator out and swallowed some of it. It was clean and pure.

That reminds me of a Clive Cussler book when Dirk Pitt traveled through a underground river through the desert and into the gulf of Mexico or Baja.

Fun book.

Clearwater, Florida was originally called Clear Water. That was because natural springs in the bay made it clear. People loved it and developments were built on the aquifer thus sealing it off under concrete and asphalt.
