Tech-Diving 2012 - Daniel Karlsson and Dmitri Gorski

Daniel Karlsson and Nicklas Myrin, Baggbodykarna, started to explore the dry part of Tuna-Hästberg mine back in 1998. Experienced cavers and sump divers, they soon reached the third and last dry level after which scuba equipment had to be used for further exploration. Since then, more than six kilometres of permanent line has been installed in the dark maze of underwater passages. The mine itself has become a well-known attraction for cave divers from all around Sweden and abroad. Daniel will tell the story of the mine and how it was developed from an enthusiast project. Dmitri Gorski joined the team in 2007 and brought with him experience of deep trimix and rebreather diving. He was one of the leading members of the 2011 Deep Exploration Project where divers reached depth of 114 meters in the freezing water, making some astonishing discoveries of the long-forgotten industrial era. Dmitri will share his thoughts about this kind of diving and show what was accomplished during the deep dives.
