Jacob's well is significant, the largest karst spring perennial spring of Texas. It flows from the largest underwater cave in Texas, whose opening is located in Cypress Creek, a few miles north of Wimberley, Texas. Measured four feet across the mouth of the cave that serves as a popular swimming and water recreation spot for local landowners whose properties adjoin Cypress Creek. Since opening in the streambed, The Well of Jacob descends vertically for about thirty feet (ten meters), continuing from there at an angle with a series of chambers separated by narrow, often deeply sanded with unstable necks ultimately , reached a depth of at least one hundred twenty feet (forty meters).
With the decrease of water flow through the system of underwater caves, divers were first able to descend to the first chambers. Jacob's Well is reputed to be one of the most dangerous for divers underwater caves.
At least eight divers have lost their lives while exploring the well. At least four cameras have been explored, the last of which requires going through a barely big enough for a diver air tanks and neck.
