Cave diving in Sweden
 

(posted in UWOL challenge forum too)

As I wrote in my info text about my film in UC7 I explained that I and 12 more diver was planning a expedition up to northern Sweden. 7 of Mars we left Stockholm and headed up to Jämtland and a limestone area where Sweden’s longest dry cave are located. Just 9 km north of this cave a river floats from Norway to Sweden and after 700 m on the Swedish side the river disappears down into the ground and appears 3,5 km down the valley. We entered the cave thru a small sump/lake and after a very narrow restriction a huge (200-500 cm wide/50-250 cm high) cave system opened up. We explored up to 400m cave and map 150m and this is just the beginning of the cave. This it the longest under water cave system in Sweden.

The Swedish TV is broadcasting a 2.30 min report from the expedition tonight (19 mars -08) and this is my first airtime. This is a link to the webTV:

Please send me your cave videos!!

My international cave video site on Stage6.com is gone, so I am trying to rebuild it on Vimeo. I had many things from France, US, Germany, Mexico, but nothing from Sweden.

I have just started to build the new site:
