8Eagle’s Nest Sinkhole, Florida, USA
Eagle’s Nest Sinkhole, located in Florida’s Weeki Wachee State Park, is often referred to as the “Mount Everest” of cave diving. This dive site features a complex network of deep underwater caves, with passages extending to depths of over 100 meters (330 feet). The cave system is expansive and intricate, with numerous chambers and tight spaces.
The primary danger at Eagle’s Nest is its depth, which can quickly lead to decompression sickness if not managed correctly. The site’s layout also makes it easy for divers to become disoriented or lost, increasing the risk of running out of air. Despite its beauty, with stunning rock formations and crystal-clear water, Eagle’s Nest is considered one of the most dangerous dive sites in the world and should only be attempted by the most skilled and experienced cave divers.
