You can only dive single backmount at Devil’s Den. You’ll need to go to Blue Grotto for any other configurations.

Looks beautiful. A little hole in the ground that one can take steps down into in order to access. Very unique experience. Otherwise, diving is simple and not at all exciting past the first dive. Avoid weekend diving. Small area with lots of Open Water Divers. It is like being on an overcrowded playground with kids. Blue Grotto and Ginnie Springs are also nearby, with Blue Grotto literally being located across the street.

This is a great dive. Fun for all level of diving. Perfect place for training. Bring your light and a wetsuit. I have dove this with people around the world. 3mm - 5mm wetsuit.

Great dive. Devil’s Den Spring is a natural spring located in central Florida. It’s a unique because it’s located inside an underground cavern. 72-degree water temperature year round. Ancient rock formations with stalactites, fossil beds dating back 33 million years, and much more. I did Blue Grotto same day. There close. Then go to Crystal River and snorkel with Manatee’s. Well worth it.

I went scuba diving here on 4/10/2022. Average viz: 71-80ft/22-24m. Water temp: 71-75°F/22-24°C.
Fun little dive. Was initially worried there might be too many people in the cavern when we started going down the steps but it cleared out considerably once you got beneath the snorkelers. Visability was really good but lights are almost a must as there is not a lot of light that comes through the top of the dome, even at almost noon. Lots of cool fossils to look at and passages to swim through. Personal opinion: of the two springs within a few miles of each other, Blue Grotto is better to train at and Devil’s Den is the more fun dive.

I went scuba diving here on 7/1/2021. Average viz: 41-50ft/12-15m. Water temp: 71-75°F/22-24°C.
Beautiful day outside, arrived here about 15 minutes before opening time on a Thursday. There was already a line of people waiting. Most people were there for snorkeling, not diving. By the time we started heading down the stairs, the two platforms were full of people (snorkelers) and it looked like a party. Everyone was nice enough and gave us room to get down and into the water, so no complaints there. The visibility wasn’t great and it was darker than I recall. I attributed the darkness to the sun still being low in the sky and not making it through the opening in the ceiling to brighten things up.

Recommend calling ahead if you’ll be needing fills, as the fill station wasn’t working. They’ll suggest heading across the street (a mile or two) to Blue Grotto to get fills. It’s a nice place to go and blow some bubbles for a spring dive.
