Open water divers can enter the Ballroom, a large grated cavern reaching about 50 ft with exceptional clarity, while the adjacent Devil's Eye/Devil's Ear system offers world-class cave diving for certified cave divers. The park offers camping, on-site air/nitrox fills, gear rental and 24-hour diving for guests.
