The dive
Visibility is usually good, but fine silt clouds quickly; after S1 you reach a large chamber with silt. The water level varies 7–8 m over the year: in extreme drought S1 runs dry and you can walk to S2.

This is one of the most visited resurgences in Veneto. It has been explored since 27 February 1993 by Gigi Casati with Gruppo Grotte Trevisiol (Vicenza) and the CAI caving group of Verona; new exploration followed in 2009–2011 (Team Prometeo).
- Depth and profile
- S1 ~70 m / -12 · S2 ~25 m · S3 ~100 m / -26 (1993), later extended; in 2011 +315 m to -74 m · total >1,500 m (2010). A 2010 report puts S1 at ~350 m from the entrance (-5 m) and S2 at ~550 m (-34 m).
- Configuration
- No passage profiles published. Sumps with dry sections and carrying: sidemount or a compact CCR is the obvious choice (estimate); a rebreather was used in 2010.
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Short sumps with dry sections and carrying: 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
Roomy entrance in a steep rock face above the Astico. According to IDF the most remote cave of the area: a long walk through the forest with your gear. At normal water level ~30 m of dry passage first, to the lake where S1 starts; dry sections with carrying between the sumps.
