Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Devil's Hole
Devil's hole is a very impressive place. The sink is about 18 meters in diameter with the water level about 15 meters from the top of the sink.
It can be very difficult to enter into the water (steep sides). You should plan on bringing vertical gear to get in and out of the sink (there is an old ladder but not really safe!).
This is different than Willistons "Devils Den", this is not a maintained area so dont expect facilities or help if you cant get out. Scope it out and make sure you know what you are doing before you get into trouble.
The water is often unclear until you get down a bit, there are a number of cars, etc to see and some cave entrances. Be smart on this dive.
IMPORTANT: This proberty is privately owned and trespassing is a federal offense. The land is currently being developed and the owners have posted no tresspass signs and the property is guarded. Local authorities have been notified.
Edit 5/16/07: Ditches have been dug to bar all entrance. Multiple no trespass signs have been posted, and a fence has been built around the sink.
Take S-20 from Gainesville towards Hawthorne. Look for route CR-21 (do not turn yet). Turn left onto Lake Galilee Dr, about 1.8 miles from the CR-21 intersection. Go about 150 yards and take one of the two sand roads to the left, and go to the sink.
Devil's Hole is also known as Devil's Sink, Devils Den.
