#2. JACOB’S WELL

Jacob’s Well Natural Area by Nan Palmero

Also known as Texas’ most dangerous diving spot. It is a karstic spring flowing from the bed of Cypress Creek located northwest of Wimberley Texas. The mouth of the spring is 12 ft in diameter and is about 30 ft vertically deep, it then continues down at an angle through a series of silted chambers which goes down to a depth of 120 ft.

When you go deeper and deeper, it would get darker and there would be caves and chambers that are hard to access. There is even a chamber that looks like the exit and it has killed at least one diver. Also the floors of the chamber is covered with fine silt. One wrong step and the silt would start pluming everywhere until you won’t know which way is up or down.

If you are inexperienced, just play near the top of the well as it has claimed 8 lives that we know of.
