Twin D's
Location.
    Twin Dees (aka Twin D's), is about 12 miiles southwest of Brooksville, near Weeki Wachee Springs Theme Park.

Description.
    There are two pools about 25 ft in diameter and about 40 ft deep near the limestone vent at the pool center. There is a small dam at the west side of the first pool. Discharge is east and then north through a second pool of similar dimensions and from there through a marsh and to the Weeki Wachee River about 0.2 miles to the north. Reports indicate that the vents are 4 foot diameter vertical shafts to a depth of about 50 ft that then angle northward some 1,500 ft and attain a depth exceeding 200 feet. Southwest Florida Water Management Disrict has bought the property as continuing efforts to protect water reserves. Access is (of course) closed for now. There has been a recent project to map the system. Advanced Diver Magazine has a free article online about the project here.
