About Eagles Nest
Eagles Nest is a Florida sinkhole cave in Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area, with a surface opening that drops into upstream and downstream tunnels around a central debris cone. It is a highly committed overhead dive for full-cave, trimix-capable teams who can manage permit steps, line discipline, and conservative gas planning in a deep, low-light system.
