Thunder Hole
Thunder Hole is on private property and is an offset sink from the Withlacoochee River in north central Florida. Special permission from the owner of the property has to be obtained to dive this site. Several of his requirements include having an Abe Davis and no scootering. The photos below are still shots taken from our analog camcorder. We are hoping to get some digital photos of Thunder Hole in the near future.
