JACOB'S WELL TEXAS: THE SWIMMING HOLE THAT KEEPS KILLING DIVERS

Episode 128 | History's Mysteries — Mysterious EventsIn this Mystery episode we focus on Jacob's Well near Wimberley, Texas — a natural spring that drops 30 feet to a beautiful clear pool before continuing into an underwater cave system that has killed at least nine divers, including two in 1979 whose bodies remain in the cave to this day.This episode covers what cave diving is and why it is fundamentally different from open-water diving, the false chimney in the second chamber that has killed more people than anything else in the cave, the 1979 deaths of Kent Maupin and Mark Brashier who went in without safety lines and never came out, and why the cave is closed to recreational diving while the swimming area above remains open.There is no sign at the surface telling you the bodies of at least two divers are still in the rock below your feet.#HistoryMystery #JacobsWell #CaveDiving #Texas #MysteryPodcast
