Success at Sardinia!! The connection between large cave system Blue Marino and the cave Su Molente has been finally discovered! The group of Czech-Slovak-Polish cave divers have managed to find the connection, which has been searched unsuccessfully for many years, on Sunday 6th of October.

Sounds good! How big a system do they have there now?

I had a look at the survey and is looks like the cave system is 23 km in length.  The main sump is 600m long and 30 m deep or 2000 by 100 feet for those of us in Wales.

What is main importance is that they connected two big systems under the bottom of huge valley. Nobody believed that the tectonics situation will allow this.

They just need to connect it to the caves up valley Su Spiria and Su Palu and then to the caves that drain there from the south e.g Loveticanas and they'll have a proper big system ;-).
