Would you like cave diving as much if the caves were well lit?

The lights were referred to as "the great balls of fire"(GBF's) and the Russian (not sure of nationality) crew declined to use them because it scared them. An accidental flash directly in the eyes or a short circuit of 60,000 volts from flooding can potentially cause devastating results. Wes saw a huge opportunity and borrowed them. The Diepolder image took more than one dive to produce and the fact that it was done on actual film media makes it even more impressive....

Dive safe,
