TRENDING NOW: Boater gets close-up to huge B.C. whirlpool

A boater decided to take a close look at a large, natural whirlpool that forms near Dent Island in B.C. 

It's known as the Devii's Hole. A video shared to Reddit was recorded from a watercraft that was taking laps around the whirlpool, which appears to have a strong current. 

"On a strong flood, Devil's Hole, a turbulent and aerated section of water south of Little Dent Island, can be a frightening spot, but on an ebb the stream is much more consistent because there is nothing to deflect the flowing water," according to canadianyachting.ca.
