The dive

A powerful spring returning the water of the Canin massif; geosite of national interest. It is an exploration cave, not a classic visitor dive.

Profile and sections

A powerful spring returning the water of the Canin massif; geosite of national interest. It is an exploration cave, not a classic visitor dive.

The Club Alpinistico Triestino (cave diver Duilio Cobol) has explored it for ~25 years: large fossil galleries in 2008–2009, a new link between S1 and S2 in July 2015, and sections with climbing and verticals of >100 m.

Practical: far from the Valbrenta (better from a Friuli base).

Depth and profile
Development 768 m, +119 m / -2 m (cadastre). Several sumps beyond the lake at ~150 m; sump lengths and depths not published.
Configuration
Sump diving with carrying. S2 was dived on a rebreather in 2015; no further data on configuration.
DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
Carrying and sumps between dry sections: no scooter (estimate).

This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.

How to get there

From the road in the Val Raccolana (near Pian della Sega) ~20 min on foot through beech forest to a large portal where the water flows out; the waterfall is visible from the road. After ~150 m of walking inside, a lake closes the passage: beyond that only by diving (or a small boat). All gear has to be carried in.
