Find the underwater cave deepest in the world
A team of explorers discovered the underwater cave the world’s deepest, at a depth of 404 metres away under a crack of limestone in the Czech Republic.
The browser Polish Krzysztof Starnawski, team leader, told the u.s. agency news The Associated Press that he felt "like a Christopher Columbus of the TWENTY-first century" to make the discovery near the Czech town of Hranice.
Starnawski, of 48 years, found that the flooded Hranicka Propast, which has been explored by divers for decades, has at least a depth of 400 meters. He immersed himself up to a crack close to 200 metres of depth and then sent a robot operated by remote control, that came up 404 yards — the length of your cable — without seeming to be bottoming out.
In 2015, the Starnawski went through the crack and went down to a depth of 265 metres without touching bottom. After this immersion, Starnawski had to spend six hours in a decompression chamber.
The discovery makes the Hranice Propast the underwater cave deepest known, outpacing the Pozzo del Merro, Italy, by 12 meters.
The Speleological Society Czech said he thinks that the cave is still deep and will release more records. When the robot was 404 meters deep, “was all that reached his rope and still not bottomed,” said the company in a statement.
Diving in the cave is difficult, because of murky water, at a temperature of 15 degrees celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit) and a mineral composition of the water which damages the equipment and exposed skin, said Starnawski, and added: “But it is the only price for this discovery and is worth it.”
