The water in the den remains constant at 22 degree Celsius throughout. Initially, the opening to the den was a small hole, through which divers had to squeeze to reach the water. It was enlarged in the 1990’s to ease access. The Devil’s Den expands below water level up to 200 feet. The cave became open for the public in the early 1990’s. The hidden spring of Devil’s Den is very old and now made into the scuba diving destination, the surrounding areas feature campground and other luxury amenities.
