Song Hong I (-105m) and Baa Cave discovery, Thailand Sept 07Return expedition to Thailand by some of the Sra Keow 3 expedition team to explore a new dry cave we found in the jungle during last expedition, plus search for rumoured and illusive sink hole known as Song Hong that was rumoured to be in Nakorn.
Using SRT suceeded in getting into what we have named as Baa Cave (Baa being slang Thai for crazy person, which every Thai we meet on these trips thinks we are for wanting to crawl into holes in the ground.)
After a LOOOOOOOONG search around rural Southern Thailand we finally suceeded in locating and diving Song Hong sink - and what a sink it turned out to be. Top of breakdown mound is 95m, bottom of cave passages look at being around 125m and are HUGE (20m+ in diameter!) This cave GOES! Needless to say we are making plans to return in a month or so to further explore.
This trip wouldnt have been possible without the generous support of the following:
OneStop Dive Center - Krabi
Protech dive college - Phuket
