Hello Everyone,
I am planning on doing 2-3 dives this weekend at Devil's Den and I would like to invite anyone and everyone to come and join me!
Discription - "This is an underground spring inside a dry cave in central Florida. The remains of many extinct animals from the Pleistocene Age (2 million - 10,000 years ago) were discovered at Devil's Den, including the bones of early man, dating back to 75,000 B.C. The year-round spring temperature of 72 degrees in the Den allows diving during winter or summer. On cold winter mornings you can see steam rising from the hole in the top of the dome. The early settlers called the place Devil's Den because of the smoke-like appearance caused by the warm water and the cold air during cold mornings. There are often classes here in the mornings using the platforms and heated pool. I suggest getting in as early as possible since any sediment stirred up by other divers won't settle for most of the day (due to such low flow). All the cave sections have been blocked off by chain link or rebar, but they are poorly maintained and have been pulled up by other divers. Do not attempt to by-pass these points. The big draw here is the numerous swim-throughs (you go in one hole and come out another opening)." - Taken from floridacaves.com
Let me know if you are interested and we could meet up at the site.
