Blue Grotto, popular recreation spot, offered at auction - OrlandoSentinel.com: State News: "WILLISTON -- The deep, clear, refreshing waters of Blue Grotto, which have lured Tiger Woods, the prince of Thailand and thousands of other divers, was offered at auction Thursday to a pool of potential investors who were considering a riskier plunge.
But the top bid of $1.5 million fell 'considerably' short of the price owner Edward Paradiso sought, and he immediately exercised his right to refuse it, said Tommy Bone, vice president of the National Auction Group, which arranged the sale at the water's edge.
Blue Grotto, in Levy County about 25 miles northwest of Ocala, is the largest clear-water cavern in the state and reputed to be among the best scuba-dive locations in Florida. Water in the 100-foot-deep cavern is 72 degrees no matter the season or depth."
