New cave with an interesting entrance on the other side of the river. The river was pleasantly warm but from 3 m down you feel the cold outflow. The cave meanders a little, starts at about 10 m and then goes shallower (~4 m). After about 200 m the cave steps deeper, and we turned around after 300 m. Here the line went on down to 30 m.
