Hi, During the winters of 2004 and 2005 I travelled with Rick Stanton and John Volanthen, two outstanding Cave Divers from the UK, to Valstagna in Northern Italy as they attempted to pass the first sump of the Cogol di Veci a vast flooded cave system. The film follows their attempts to push the limits of underwater cave exploration.
The film is available here in full. I hope you like it.

Very nicely put together!
Thanks for sharing the link...looks like an interesting project you were involved with...
Thanks for sharing. lots of interesting stuff on there. Never heard of sidemount rebreathers...... oh, to be much younger and have much more money LOL
Amazing work!
How did they measure the air quality in the dry areas they camped in? I woud be worried about the %o2 without an air line to the surface. Not to mention other gases that are found underground.
Didn't you see the canary's dry tube on the side of Ricks scooter. The challenge was keeping him warm. :)Quote:

Very cool, well narrated, interesting documentary. i like cave diving so i am always interested in watching any footage about cave diving but the way you put this together makes it in my opinion interesting for everyone to watch not just cave divers which is a very difficult thing to do well.
congratulations!

Very spiffy, thanks for posting it!
Dive safe,

Marcus, Rick Stanton and John Volanthen. Thanks so much for posting this, and for sharing your passion and adventures. We appreciate how much work it truely is.
Thanks, that was exactly what I was hoping to achieve. I think Rick and John are interesting people and I wanted to try and dig a bit deeper and understand their motivation, which i hoped might be of interest to a broader audience.Quote:

Excellent video. Thanks for posting it. But the big question is: did they go back? I haven't been able to find anything on the internet.
Great video. Now lets see the followup.
Great film, one you can watch a number of times and see some thing new each time.
