It sounds like Tunel de la Atlantida, it walls out at 1600m from entrance at depth of -60m. The end was reached by Oliver Isler long time ago. Also there had been several expeditions before the swiss team, without reaching the end, like Sheck Exley's and one Spanish team (Carmen Portilla) who pushed the line to only 60m of the end. What I do not understand is what kind of "world record" it is? May be the longest flooded lava tube?
