Jacob's Well
This is one leap you wouldn't want to make.

A spring in Wimberly, Texas is considered to be the most dangerous places to dive on Earth. You may ask why dangerous if it's only a spring?

Jacob's Well having claimed the lives of more than eight divers, is a stunning natural swimming spot which attracted scuba divers and curious tourists as well due to the fact that it has 4 huge and deep holes underneath the crystal clear water.

While the mouth of the spring is four metres wide, with the depth of the water at approximately ten metres, the first hole is said to be 25 feet profound; the second is 35 feet and the third is 75 feet. The profundity of the fourth chamber, be that as it may, stays obscure.

The spring angles down into one of the largest underwater caves in the state of Texas, reaching a depth of a massive forty metres.



Scuba divers love to explore the area despite its dangers. However, not all jumpers who dove profound into the waters could make it back to the surface. According to reports, the well has killed around nine individuals already.

But that doesn't stop thrill-seekers from taking the plunge.
