I hope you have P-valve in you drysuit because total dive time was five hour. ;)

Maximum depth was 88 meter - about 300 feet. Water is in those depths is 4 celssius all the year around.

Let me get this straight...those guys did 5 hours in 5 degree water?

That looks like some awesome diving in that mine. Unfortunately the cold would keep me away.

Thanks M8
It was just that I couldn't see any reels in the pics, If it was me down there I would be reeling off the permanant line.

There is a diver from Poland over here that went 103m down a sump, a new depth record.
At 30m he found a blockage dug his way threw, realising the sump (cave went a lot deeper, came back another day with some helium and went to
103m,thats were he stoped and went back, the cave go's deeper :eek:
The best bit is he uses public transport to get to the cave.
I could find a link if tou would like to read the full story.

Thank you Ken about the link. 103 meter - it is deeeeeep...:eek:

The pictures are awesome! It looks like a great dive.

I am a little suspicious of the 5 Degree Water. Five hours is a really long exposure for that temperature. Also, how would the water get that cold? I am not geologist, but I would guess that the earth is a pretty good insulator in those mines. Was the temperature just the surface waters?

[Jonathan Bird]

That's 41 degrees F, not totally unbelievable as a constant temperature.
