Sitting at the bottom of an enticing pile of large rocks, Jacob's Well welcomes playful swimmers each year in addition to scuba divers who don't mind taking their lives into their own hands.
From the surface, the circular, blue pond reaches down 30 feet deep in a vertical drop, the perfect depth for young rock jumpers, but even further down, the hole becomes a network of dangerous caves perfect for adventure seeking divers. After the initial shaft, the chamber curves into a number of tight caves that have trapped over a dozen divers who suffocated in the dark caves, unable to get out.
Despite the numerous deaths, thrill seekers refuse to stay away from the dive. One local diver went so far as to install an iron grate over the entrance of one of the more dangerous caves. Shortly after the grate was put in place it was found removed, accompanied by a note scrawled on plastic that said, "You can't keep us out."
