Sra Keow 1: deep exploration sub 210m/700ffw

cedricverdier · 31st January 2007, 05:30

The Asian Cave Diving Club actively works in the last preparation phase of the deep exploration of Sra Keow 1, Krabi, Thailand.

Ben Reymenants and Cedric Verdier just replaced the old habitats (a.k.a. Ritz and Hilton) with a band new habitat for comfortable decompression. Mike Gadd and a bunch of wild support divers, DMTs, physician, photographers and videographers will be soon arriving in Krabi to increase the turnover of the local bars and accidentally prepare everything for the BIG dives.
This time, thanks to some impressive logistics, the 3 divers expect to explore the deepest part of this now famous cave system in Thailand. Below 210m/770ffw, the main shaft is expending and nobody knows where and how deep it goes. The goal of this expedition will be to survey this spring to find the connection with the nearby system.

For updated news, have a look at these two blogs:

Cheers

The habitat is made of standard plastic outside, but inside you have red carpet and mirrors...

Red carpet, mirrors, silver pole, busty Thai girls... I get it now, it can all be easily squeezed in at double ATA. Genius, you guys have it all figured out.
