Magnificent! It is off the beaten path. Well worth the effort to see. I crunched some numbers liberally and suspect that only a tiny fraction of humanity has been able to experience this wonderful gem. I love my home state. So much to see and enjoy. Safe travels!
Nice video Max! Just dove here this morning for 1st time. Funny I watched the intro video on same TV in your film, was in same spot in garage with all the stuff around it exactly like your video, lol. The owner & her son are very nice & friendly. All those statues were little creepy, haha. It's definitely a hidden gem. PS: the platform that was under construction is finished. Dive Dive Dive
I live 30 mibs from there hand done 50+ dives at Paradise. The last statue you showed is also right next to a headstone. It is in the memorandum of a diver that was killed down there when he was crushed by a falling boulder and trapped. We also fine skeletons and translucent crabs down there.
Oh wow! Thanks for letting me know! That is a horrible accident, but nice that there is a headstone to remember this diver. Translucent crabs would have been really cool to see!
Omg I love the little statues and the grim reaper sign in the cave, haha. The big-cheeked cave crawfish were pretty cool! Glad you found your little fish friend, haha. Great video !!!
Just did a dive there last Wednesday. We were diving at blue grotto, devils den, and Ginnie also. I loved the gin clear water of Ginnie but I think paradise was my favorite of the four because it actually feels like something prehistoric and remote and we had the entire place to ourselves. I’m pretty sure I saw the same catfish. Cool that you saw the crayfish. I was looking out for them but didn’t have any luck
@@DivingNJ I was supposed to dive blue grotto and devils den as well but there was thunder/lightning so we couldn't dive. Glad the catfish is still there 😊

Thanks! It was definitely off the beaten path, but so glad I got to see this place! I love Florida! :)

Devils den and blue grotto is not as cool as paradise but they are worth doing once
@@kurtfoster962 Good to know. Hopefully I can try diving them one day!
