Episode notes

Scientists estimate the devil's hole is 400 feet at its deepest. In 19 65, three amateur divers went into devil's hole to explore. Only two came back up and one of them didn't make it back either. Kavin was concerned about how many little fishs they stepped on. How many eggs did they destroy? There's no video of any of the men actually getting into the water.

There is a cave in the middle of the Mojave Desert called Devil's Hole. It's home to a small iridescent blue fish, called the Devil's Hole pupfish - and you can't find them anywhere else in the world. There are fences, cameras, and motion sensors for security. In 2016, three men rammed the fences and broke in.
