Vrelo Une, Croatia, -205

This spring had been recognised some years ago by French speleodiver Touloumjian until -55. It took 5 dives: -103, -123 (JJ Bolanz), -163, -175 and -205, for Luigi Casati to finish the exploration within 10 days. The length is 290m. The shaft is 5 by 20 meters, getting narrow at one end. His 2 instruments give the same depth, but a difference of one degree in the water temperature (9 and 10 degrees centigrade). There are numerous trees in the siphon, the last one at -180m. Topography has been done until 123 m. Pictures were taken until 115 m. The -205 dive was accomplished in 5 hours with a mechanical CCR Voyager.
Participants : Alan Kovacevic (preliminary dive until -55 and film), Alen Milosevic, Alessandro Fantini, JJ Bolanz (topography), Lorenzo Del Veneziano (photos), Luigi Casati, and above all, Tihomir Kovacevic and his speleoclub DDISKF.
