We had heard about the Devil’s Den and Williston, Florida from other family members. The description was a hole in the ground leading to caves where people dive.
While somewhat true, the description doesn’t do this Florida cave diving location justice.
Upon arrival at Devil’s Den, you must go through the welcome center that collects a nominal entry fee if you are not diving – we weren’t!
Snorkeling and diving shallow wrecks in the Gulf is one thing, but diving into a cave 100 feet underground is not for us.
Divers got through another line. They can rent scuba gear or bring their own. Fees vary but are reasonable.
Based on the lines of people waiting in the divers’ line, Devil’s Den must be a major cave diving location in Florida.
Where is the Devils Den in Florida?
Devil’s Den is in Williston, Florida. Located just off Route 27 in north central Florida. Williston is 25 miles northwest of Ocala and about 22 miles south of Gainesville.
Known for its unusual cave diving, the area gets a lot of thrill seekers and divers who have never experienced cave diving.
This Cave Diving Location in Florida is Stunning
As you walk onto the grounds of Devil’s Den, you see two things. On the left is an acre-sized lake, and on your right is a sign and a dark entryway going down into the ground. We chose the path to the lake since the small walkway was for divers only.
