69 h. ago Thai cave rescue diver Richard Harris devised an experiment. If it worked, he’d be a hero. If it didn’t, he could explode

New Zealand’s Pearce Resurgence is legendary among expert cave divers for its depth and difficulty. When an Australian explorer became obsessed with diving deeper into it, he hatched a daring plan that could cost his lifeDeep in a valley in the New Zealand wilderness, clear cold water rushes across moss-covered rocks.In the morning the mist rises up and lays across the valley.
