Oct 13, 2011: Orda Cave
Orda Cave is the most extended underwater cave in Russia, the second in Eurasia, with regards to length, and the world’s greatest gypsum cave.
Lot of great pictures here.

Oh that's marvellous!
I must send a link to Our Kid. He used to be a caver/potholer/diver. He'll love this!

Interesting that there seems to be little silt to blow around.
Also strange to see almost no bubbles but those don't look like re-breathers. |

Beautiful.
Cave-diving is dangerous. You need to follow every safety rule ever invented. An ex-cousin-in-law got cocky once and could've died. I'd love to do it though. With many ropes. |

when I was a kid I thought caves were cool, and I remember visiting a lava cave and squirming through tight spots and stuff and loving it. Now caves freak me out. I'll go through a touristy one with sidewalks in it, but the idea of squeezing through a tight gap hundreds of feet underground just gives me the heebs. Throw water into the mix and NO WAY. I bet statistically speaking, it's safer to jump out of a perfectly functional plane, which is another thing I'm not doing.

The problem with that cave is there are no cave spiders.
