Diving Pridhamsleigh Cavern

Diving in the lake at Pridhamsleigh Cavern through to the second chamber. This second chamber is the biggest known chamber in Devon and is starkly contrasting to the rest of the cave, it is very clean and has some very nice formations adorning its walls.
The inward dive took about 8 minutes requiring a dive down to 25m for a short swim at depth before ascending slowly up the fixed lines to the surface. The water clarity in the second chamber was very good, the chamber walls or floor are not visible for most of the dive.

I've enjoyed a few swims in the lake, and often wondered what it's like to dive to Prid 2. Thanks for the video.

It can be much more spectacular with bigger lights, I should try and make another video as when the waters clear you can appreciate the size of it

@@blackcatunderwater1446 I carried bottles in for a few divers - Brian Johnson and others. Swam in the lake with a friend, both of us with mask and flippers. I dived under arch, surfaced. My friend followed and disappeared. It all went still. I honestly thought he was sinking down. After diving and searching a few times, I started to head for the arch and heard a muffled shout. Found him in a small bell chamber far left, treading water. There was literally a 1" air gap between bell and lake chamber!

Nice bit of film. If you ever want to go again I could bring my camera and lights as well. The shot I have always wanted to get is somebody coming through the arch into Prid 2 with the light streaming through preceding them. Are you Devon based?
