Plan: 50 bar for penetration, no reel needed. The first deep cave of the week. There was some tension but it was gone once on the bottom. At the entrance we ran into Henk & Herman de Paay, who were very surprised that we came past. Visibility was not great but you could still see how big this cave was. It started deep (~30 m) and gradually got shallower. Erik filmed during the dive. Cool cave. Team: Saskia "Herman looks like Henk, quite a lot :)"; Erik "Tomorrow a new round, new chances at decent line rhythms :)"
