Devil's Den

Guests can visit one of North America's most prehistoric places, Devil's Den, which 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 pleasant year-around temperature of 72 degrees in the Den allows comfortable diving, winter or summer. On cold winter mornings visitors can see steam, like smoke, rising from the cave's chimney. As a result of the steam and visuals of the Den, the early settlers called the place the Devil's Den.

At the Devi's Den visitors will find open water and cavern diving at its best and will be fascinated by the rock formations with stalactites and 33 million year old fossil beds, truly a natural wonder. The 10,000 year old prehistoric spring offers full dive equipment rentals and no-blend air fills. There is a nine foot deep swimming pool for scuba training or play swim. The area also has a covered pavilion with bathrooms. Bathrooms are equipped with changing area and tiled heated showers. Two large pavilions are available for reservation and are complete with grills for barbequing.
