Thanks to extraordinary images from the film "Siphon-1122" (directed by Georges Marry in 1962 and produced by Jack Lesage) relive the intensity of the first descent in this now well-known, must see cave.

    Thanks for your support. We were using Sony EX1 until sub 500m, then some waterproof cameras and GoPro until sub 1000m. Best regards.
