As an Instructor I'm at Alexander Springs and Blue Springs all of the time. Recently, I think because of the rain, Blue Springs vis was bad - about 5ft. (it's 60 ft before the cave system), funnels down to get pretty small at the bottom, lots of ledges and a fallen tree in the way. About 1 hour away from Orlando.
Alexander Springs nice and wide open, clear dive, 27 ft. deep OK to dive a few times (gets tiresom if dove too many times). It has an alagator - Alex who occasionally makes an appearance (prob. about 8 ft or so), an otter, a few fish and blue clawed crabs. They started a new policy there the last few weeks, if your "C" card dsen't have a picture you must show picture ID along with your diving credentials. If you dive this area during the weekend it can be packed. Saturdays are more crowded than Sundays. A/S is about 1 1/2 hour away from Orlando in the Ocala National Forrest.
Seeing that you are from PA you should be fine with either one of these dives with a 3mm wet suit and about 6 to 8 lbs of weight. The water temp is 72 degrees. Nothing near the temp of Dutch in November
