Rivers of Life - the Danube - cave system underneath Budapest

[Chavodel8en]

FYI - I was watching the PBS series "Rivers of Life" the episode about the Danube.

There was a bit about the extensive cave system that exists, apparently right under Budapest. It was kind of crazy. These dudes walked into a building, in the middle of Budapest, walked down some stairs, opened a door, and they were soon in an extensive cave system.

Im not and will never be a cave diver, but that seemed pretty rad, to go from a big city, down some stairs, and into serious cave diving.

We’re these the hot bath caves with high ceilings, or completely flooded caves, which constitute overhead environment/require specialty training?

It's a "real" cave dive. Diving in the Molnár János cave and Kőbánya Mine

The TV show mentioned "several kMs" of cave system, and the video they showed looked like a fully overhead environment to me.

You can go to Molnar and dive with a guide. Enter point is just a huge chamber, with bunch of underwater and above water lights, you are not allowed to go into any passages if not certified cave diver
