    Default Ox Bel Ha Exploration Report

    Hi All,
    Well it has been some time in the making but we finally got around to finishing off what we started way back in 2001.
    On Saturday 26th March Sistema Ox Bel Ha was connected to Sistema Naranjal.

    According to our preliminary survey data Ox Bel Ha is now once again the world’s Longest Underwater Cave System at 710,000+ feet/ 216,450 meters.

    An official and detailed report to follow in the near future.

    Regards
    Steve Bogaerts & Bil Phillips

    Regards
    Steve

    Congrats Steve, Bil and the rest of the Ox Bel Ha team!

    That makes it the sixth for cave system length in the world and only marginally behind two others (Sac Actun & Wind). (Reference Link)

    I've never paid attention to underwater length vs dry length of caves, who keeps statistics on the longest (purely) underwater caves of the world?
