Send us a text

Imagine yourself 100 meters underground, tucked into a little trolly, racing down rail tracks in an abandoned mine – bullets flying, snakes biting, the heroine captured, and time running out. That's mine diving. Except for the bullets, snakes, and heroine. But the rest of it is still there, sitting as it sat when the mine was closed and flooded years, sometime decades, ago.

In this episode Jeff and Ben talk with UTD Instructor Casper Dreiøe and Marcin Wojturski, the head of the Tuna Hästberg mine in Sweden. Join us for this amazing journey through history and learn what it takes to dive these fascinating abandoned mines.
