Yep, heard of it and seen pictures. I would love to do it.

[pandorica]

OMG. I would die. Nope.

Not my thing, but it looks like fun for crazies.

Is it okay to side-eye the people with the kids here?  I won't if you tell me I can't.  But I kind of want to.  Mostly because they are willingly exposing children to the needless danger of grandpa's speedo.

I had the same thought. Definitely side eyeing.

I hope so because I sure as shit did.

My feelings on this are the same as whoever posts the nope octopus gif.

My standard response to most things adventurous/dangerous/not involving both of my feet on solid, unmoving ground.

[harleysnhorses]

I love to skydive and jump out of airplanes, but this, no just no LOL

[JLV]

Only if grandpa in his speedo were there to save me.

But seriously, hell freaking no. My palms are sweaty just thinking about it.

[Deleted]

The grandpa reminds me of Mike from Breaking Bad.

And fuck no, I would not do that.

Probably Entrance to Hell.

It's the stuff of my nightmares.

The first one is the Great Blue Hole in Belize, the second is Dean's Blue Hole in the Bahamas.

They both make me feel like I'm going to pass out.

See also: Jacob's Well in Texas.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! 

[BaliHai]

The only thing I think whenver I see those gaping water holes is "nobody ever goes in and nobody ever comes out", just like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

[pierogigirl]

I feel sick looking at those. I'd kill my husband and then divorce the corpse if he took the kids there.

[Nonny]

I really want to do the Devil's Pool, the view just seems incredible.

Hell no to Jacob's Well though, I don't like caves, and I definitely don't do underwater caves.

[RoxMonster]

Looking at stuff like this makes my heart beat fast (in a not good way). But I am also terrified of deep water in general, so this is like my personal hell.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I'd go to Jacob's Well, but fuck no to Devil's Pond.

[Deleted]

You couldn't pay me to do any of those!

Imagine what lives down there? Yikes!

[Deleted]

These make my heart race. I could not imagine letting my kids go there! EVER!

[Deleted]

Didn't @wandering do this.

[Deleted]

I'm sorry.

What now.

I would divorce H if he took the kids out there.

Ditto.

I was too scared to jump in like my friend:

So I did a nice little crawl down in to the water lol:

The scary part wasn't the pool. The scary part was getting to the pool. You see all that water in the background of the 2nd pic. Well there are rocks under that water. We had to walk on slippery ass rocks. Then swim in between the rocks to get to the next set of rocks. If you don't swim hard enough, yep you'll get swept off the edge. They don't really tell you this before you go. 1 lady in our group opted out of going.

It was rainy season when I was there so the water was really high. The day after we went they closed it down for the season because the water was too high.

YOLO!

OK even if I worked up the courage to get in myself, no way would I get in with a bunch of other assholes! I would be like "do NOT fucking touch me!"

Lol. You don't really have a choice.

Actually one of the guides was kind of an asshole. I hesitated for about 2 seconds before swimming at one point and was like come on, lets go and yelled at me. I'm sure he deals with people freaking out a lot, but come on! Of course I was extra nice to him though in case he needed to save my life

[hisno1girl]

There are no words to describe the wrath that would fall upon my husband or anyone else who would put my children/grandchildren in that water.
