ENGELBRECHT CAVES


We went to see Engelbrecht Caves today. This hige compex of limestone caves under the city was first explored around 1884. Cave divers who have undertaken intense training, regularly explore this site and have provided maps showing the extent of this underground caves system. These caves are formed and the underground water filters through the limestone making its way to the Blue Lake. We also watched a great video of diving in the caves. learning to dive in these caves can take up to 4 years to learn. Cave diving is considered the most dangerous sport.I don't doubt it.
