Your Tuesday Morning Florida Report
OCALA, Fla. - A Florida woman was snorkeling with a friend at Alexander Springs Recreation Area over the weekend when a 9-foot alligator attacked her and bit her forehead, she told FOX 35 News. And a photographer nearby happened to snap photos of the immediate aftermath, including one that clearly shows an alligator lurking behind them.

What's the big deal it's not uncommon to see a woman giving head in public these days.
ReplyDeleteI moved to Fl and don't get why people swim with gators. To each his own. I went to I think Silver Springs Park and took a boat tour. We saw gators. Once back from the tour we circled in front of the docks which is the main pool. They said most of the old movie Sea Hunt was filmed there becuase of the crystal clear water. There's a bunch of statues you can see down in the bottom that I guess were movie props and left. Aint no way in hell I'd swim there.
ReplyDeleteThe original Tarzan movies were also filmed there.
DeleteThe article author, Stephanie, needs to go back to school and learn how to write. What a chopped up word salad article, it is so hard to read, there are no standards anymore. Perhaps I just need another cup of coffee and to quit bitching. I wonder if she is a cousin of Kamela....
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and GO GATORS!!!
Fuck Joe Biden!
DeleteWe have gators, lots of them, and for the most part we eat more of them than they do of us...

Alexander Springs is considered a pretty safe place to snorkel - park rangers go out each morning and check out gator population then they churn the water in an attempt to scare the gators away. Sometimes it doesn’t work.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with people? "pictures show blood on her face. Some people may be disturbed" How pathetic!
ReplyDeleteAt least she wasn't smoking! (Those content warnings about smoking a pathetic.)
DeleteI knew one of these Florida stories would eventually hit close to home. Alexander Springs is where I did my open water checkouts when I got SCUBA certified in 2001. I've been there many times since then, and have video of my dive instructor shooing off the gators to keep them away from students.
ReplyDeleteHow is a natural spring and associated pool and river considered 'open water'?
DeleteNot arguing, somply curious.
"Open Water" as used by scuba divers is anything that isn't an artificial pool. Alexander Springs is by definition, open water. What's interesting about AS is that a dive instructor can actually use the shallow part as a "pool" session if need be. It's not without its dangers, however, as people have drowned there while "learning to scuba dive". What actually happened was a diver was trying to teach his buddy and his girlfriend how to dive, was paying attention to the girl, the guy who was trying to learn ended up drowning in less than six feet of water because the actual diver wasn't paying attention.
