We have returned successfully from Culiembro, having connected the cave to Pozo del Xitu. The full expedition report will appear on the website shortly, we will also be providing a feature length article for Descent Magazine as well as giving a presentation at Hidden Earth.

In the mean time you can see the coverage we received in the Mail on Sunday and view the Culiembro 2010 trailer on Youtube – http://www.youtube.com/user/casjcave

The headlines are not quite accurate – this is now the deepest cave system explored by a British team – rather than a particularly deep caving trip.

This connection was a fantastic team effort. Chris was lucky that it was his turn to dive but anyone could have made the connection and the whole team made it a possibility.
