Subject: 2 km cave dive (record ?)

For  two  weeks  ago, the guys downtown in Las Palmas dive center
commented there was a "world record dive" (little over 2 km) in a
cave in the island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands (Spain). The team
was  spanish-german  and  I  understand  Matthias  Voss  (also on
techdiver) was involved in that cave some time ago.

Anyway,  I  just  wanted  to  fire  away the news. There are some
endemic  crabs  in the cave. This shows the ecological importance
of  caves  from  a  conservation  point  of  view and the need to
address such aspects in the DIR or any other framework, as well.

cheers,
