Exploration of the Czech cave Hranice Propast

After setting a recent record, Krzysztof Starnawski this time, returned to the dives for which he is best known, namely those taking place in a cave. As previously announced, the popular “Starnaś” and his team arrived in the Czech Republic on 17 January to undertake further exploration of the Hranicka Propast cave.

Conducting dives in the country of our southern neighbours was planned for 2 days. Polish diver, apart from members of dualrebreather team, was supported by cave divers from Czech Republic and colleagues from TOPR.

The dives in Hranicka Propast brought surprising results and, despite the poor underwater conditions, will certainly be counted as successful. During his second dive, Krzysztof Starnawski reached the depth of 196m, where he managed to locate a narrow passage leading to another deep well. The dive took a total of 6 hours.

Unfortunately, the photographic documentation, which as usual was the responsibility of Irena Stangierska, was extremely difficult this time. The visibility of 0.5m in those parts of the cave where support could move made it completely impossible to take pictures. Nevertheless, we managed to take pictures on the surface and in the caisson, and they are available on the project website: dualrebreather.com.
