Our Story
Bought in 1993 by our current owners, this natural wonder has been transformed from a simple scuba diving site to a world class tourist attraction. Visit one of North America's most prehistoric places, Devil's Den Spring! This underground spring inside a dry cave has been home to many extinct animal fossils dating back to the Pleistocene Age, which are on display at The University of Florida's Museum of Natural History.
With crystal clear water, year round 72 degree water temperatures, ancient rock formations with stalactites, fossil beds dating back 33 million years, and much more, you're guaranteed to leave with memories that will last a lifetime!
From early beginnings...
The Den has received some upgrades since our early days to increase safety and provide a better experience for our guests!
Why is it called Devil's Den?
On cold winter mornings you can see steam, like smoke, rising from the chimney-like opening. The early settlers of this area saw this steam rising from the cave's opening and believed that the devil must reside in this cave underground - thus the name Devil's Den.
