Phantom Springs Cave Expedition 2013

Deep in the desert of West Texas lies Phantom Springs cave. Exploration divers have hit a record depth of 462ft/140.8m making it the deepest natural #underwater cave system in the United States! This is a closed site and only those with a scientific permit are permitted to dive. The team set up sediment traps, collected water quality data, surveyed over 8000ft of the cave, and shot hours of high definition video and stills both topside and underwater. The site is a biological preserve set aside for the endangered pup fish that lives in the pools outside of the system.
