The dive
A resurgence by the Ebro in the Alto Ebro gorges. Dark rock and silt mean visibility drops to zero quickly. It was explored from 2000 to 2006: first by Rupert Skorupka, then by Spanish teams; Martín Burgui reached 390 m in 2006.
Profile and sections
A resurgence by the Ebro in the Alto Ebro gorges. Dark rock and silt mean visibility drops to zero quickly.
It was explored from 2000 to 2006: first by Rupert Skorupka, then by Spanish teams; Martín Burgui reached 390 m in 2006. A dye trace (2010) linked it to the Torca de La Nava, 5 km away.
Practical: there is no recent information (after 2010) on the line or access, so check with local clubs first.
