First man who dived into the Lake Blue Eye around 1984 was an environmental activist. The current was so strong that the activist almost descended his diving mask, so he was forced to keep it with his hands. The deeper he went, the current was getting stronger. The man came to a depth of 20 meters where felt that he could not continue, because the pressure of the river flowing out was unbearable.
