has anybody hear ever dove a "massive offshore sink"?

I recently found out about a huge sinkhole offshore jacksonville florida ("Red snapper sink" I think). The ocean floor is at 100 feet, but the sink drops down to over 500 feet and is 400 feet in diameter!
This is somthing i need to see, has anybody ever dove this sink or any of the other big offshore sinks?
 
Check out advanced diver magazine's story on "Beyond Megadome" for a very cool write up of a "pre-sink" off-shore cave some miles off the west coast of Florida.
 
Check charts for one off Sanibel Island(by Ft. Meyers)
I think its some 50-60 miles out,nearly due West.
I had seen this on the printout of a chart plotter some 15 years ago and after asking around found it to be a known submarine spring.
