The dive
La Fuentona is the source of the Abión: a very deep sump with a large boulder field. In 2008 Amaya Olea and Dani Santamaría reached -115 m in S2 on rebreathers (16 divers, >500 kg of gear).
Profile and sections
La Fuentona is the source of the Abión: a very deep sump with a large boulder field. In 2008 Amaya Olea and Dani Santamaría reached -115 m in S2 on rebreathers (16 divers, >500 kg of gear). A UTD team made a 3D photogrammetry survey in 2021.
Practical: the spring lies in the La Fuentona Natural Monument (1998). Swimming is prohibited. Cave diving here is tightly restricted: ask the Sección de Espacios Naturales of the Junta de Castilla y León in Soria for permission well in advance.
