Turtles splash around at Devil’s Hole
Created: Oct 29, 2022 07:48 AM
The Devil’s Hole Aquarium in Smith’s, once an iconic attraction, may have fallen off the map – but the fish and turtles are still happily swimming at the sea-fed cave.
Although it is shuttered as a business, the tidal pool is home to many creatures, including green sea turtles, seen this week in a visit by The Royal Gazette.
The animals are a threatened species found in Bermuda waters.
True to its name, the deep hole left by a collapsed cave is filled with more than 30 feet of water, which comes through from South Shore.
During its heyday, visitors to the aquarium would lower bait from a walkway over the pool to feed its resident sea life.
