Wow. That was really quite incredible. Some of it looks so delicate. I'm curious as to how much damage is found in caves in general? With such delicate formations I wonder if there are issues with breakage as there is in reefs or if the general calibre of diver entering the cave keeps the damage to a minimum? Sorry a bit off topic :S
Beautiful vid though!

Hey Aaron, In the case of the caves in Mallorca, you need permits to dive them, so they really try their best to keep the damage to a minimum. I was lucky enough to dive with local divers and explorers there who organized everything.
Generally caves are more fragile, you brake a coral, it will regrow in some hundred years. You brake a formation its gone forever. IMO

Hey Tony, its a cristal plate with a hole and once you put your light under it, all the plate gets alluminated.

Thats easy, First version of goPro no video light no nothing. Black frame is due to the housing I use and low resolution to cope with the lack of light. cheers P
