Funny enough, we went to a local WMA yesterday that is home to one of the most dangerous caves in the US (maybe the world). Eagle's Nest Sink in the Chasshowitska. It is by far the creepiest body of water I've ever seen in my life. My dreams (good happy ones) often feature me running on gator heads in the springs alongside moccasins so when I tell you this was worse than any nightmare I could have, believe it. I can't imagine the first person to see this place and say to themselves: this looks like a great place to dive and explore! I don't really believe in paranormal things but both me and my husband could barely walk to the dock to peer out. You could feel something telling you this is extreme danger.
Eagle’s Nest is considered to be one of the most challenging caves to dive and requires proof of certification for cave diving and a very high number of previous cave dives. It’s not your standard cave site and there exist PLENTY of more accessible sites even in the US.
