The latest news from Krzysiek Starnawski’s dive in the Czech cave Hranicka Propast, is already known to everyone. He has managed to lay a railing for the passage between wells in the area of 196m and has reached the depth of 217m. The total depth is still unknown, but as Starnaś says, the geological structure of the cave makes it possible to say that the bottom is still very, very far away.

Following the exploits of the Dualrebreather team we usually see shots just before the dive, or a moment after, or from the dive itself. However, to reach the final stage, which is diving, a lot of preparation is needed.

You have to deliver the equipment, prepare the dive site, check all the equipment, get ready… This is not easy, especially in the case of cave diving, where the descent underwater is often inaccessible.

Below is Irena Stangierska’s video from Krzysztof’s recent dive in the Czech Republic. See the record in a nutshell, how the whole procedure of preparing for the descent under water and the cave dive itself to a considerable depth is done step by step.
