How to swim in Devil's Den by bp

"This place is amazing!"

How I did it: I researched areas for cave diving and snorkeling in Florida.
This is an underground spring inside a cave in Central Florida.

You can rent all of the equipment if you don't have your own. It wasn't crowded at all when we went and all of the other divers and snorkelers were in and out so we had the cave all to ourselves for hours.

Lessons & tips: If you are afraid of large fish, you do not want to swim here. There are huge catfish bigger than my dog swimming and rubbing up against you. Very creepy at first but kind of nice after awhile. you get the feeling that they accept you.

ambler It’s a better life that comes with morning clucks.

going

I visit Fort Walton Beach, Florida every year and this is one of those things I always plan to do but end up with not enough time and say there’s always next year. This is just the info I need to persuade others in the Family that this is a must do…. even if it means leaving the mother-in-law at home.. lol I think this state park is about an hour away…

I'm not sure

that I would like being so close to big catfish. For some reason, they kind of creep me out!

Those huge fish were creepy, and they didn’t mind bumping into you. Everything about this experience was otherworldly. The prehistoric cave, the smells, the water, and those ancient looking fish.
It was a cool experience.
