About this swimming hole
A collapsed limestone cavern open to the sky, Devil's Den is a prehistoric underground spring where sunlight shafts pierce 54 feet of crystal water. It's snorkel-and-scuba only - no casual swimming - and the eerie, cathedral-like chamber feels like another planet. Reservations are required and it sells out, especially on weekends.
