About Eagle’s Nest
Eagle’s Nest is a deep sinkhole cave with a vertical entrance and overhead passages, known for technical cave diving rather than recreational reef exploration. The site demands careful gas planning, cave training, and registration-based access, and it is valued for its scale and exploration challenge more than for marine life. This is a serious overhead dive where the main draws are geology, depth, and system complexity.
