Scattered around a huge number of incredibly beautiful places that everyone should visit. Including them are very interesting caves, many of which are available only in particular sophisticated "cave divers."
Some of them can visit the ordinary tourists, but some are completely
or partially submerged under water, and, therefore, no special equipment
is not necessary.
However, despite a slight complication in the form of a special equipment, these caves are truly lovely. Let's talk about the best of them.

New Zealand itself is amazingly beautiful island nation, to say nothing of its dark depths. Cave fireflies, also known as the Waitomo Caves - one of the most popular caves for divers. Why? Because fireflies, which, in fact, light is a great place found only in this country, and it so happened that they all came together exactly in this cave. Arachne Lyuminoza - a special class of mosquitoes, which collected millions of amount in the dungeon, a surprising light up with ethereal light. Waitomo cave is guarded and controlled by special scientific advisory panel, so the whole environment is completely safe and does not spoil the constant influx of tourists. The tour includes a boat ride along an underground river, during which everyone can see the crazy beauty of the ceiling, illuminated only by fireflies. Of course, this is not diving with sharks , but the pleasure you will get nothing less.

Isle of Capri itself is famous for its beauty, but the Blue Grotto cave shines even brighter with a sapphire and an emerald sheen. The source of this beautiful color is a specific location and refraction of light caused by the special structure of this cave. The cave entrance is small, so there may be a time to go only one boat to enjoy the pool with water. The second entrance to this cave a little bigger, it is omitted below the water level and because of the light penetrating from outside, formed an incredible glow that can be compared with the brilliance of precious stone.

If you would like something more serious and longer time, then go to the National Park of Kentucky, where the Mammoth Cave. There you can stay as long as several days. As one of the longest caves, it covers about 52,830 hectares, which is two times more Sac Actun cave in Mexico. Mammoth Cave - the second largest in the world. You can also take a tour of the National Park and visit the frozen waterfall Niagara Canyon "Woe to the fat man," and, of course, the Grand Avenue. Tours can last for about 6 hours, but if you feel a thirst for knowledge of something special, you will be able to travel alone on various narrow tunnels and the rest of the cave.

This underground river, located in the Philippines, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is also one of the seven new wonders of the world. Puerto Princesa City is approximately 7 km in length, for it moved only with a tour, but some of its parts are deprived of oxygen and just -naprosto can not be studied. By the way, under the dome of the cave is a huge number of other unusual beauty and interesting features, such as deep holes in the river, canals, sea creatures and bats. The second floor of the cave was discovered in 2010, ecologists, there are several small waterfalls.
The name of this cave was given in honor of the "white stranger" from the book by James McPherson - Fingal. The cave is located on the coast of Staffa, an uninhabited island in Scotland. It consists entirely of lava flows Paleocene, hexagonally connected with basalt columns. The spectacle is a little creepy, especially because of the waves, which are broken down with a crash on the high walls of the cave and create incredibly loud echo spilled across the cave.
Personally, I'm nothing like she has not tried. And, you know, not sure I ever make up my mind yet on that. I would be very interested to know what people think about it, those who have been interested in such entertainment. Have you ever dive into the cave? If so, in what? Please share your experience with us, it would be very interesting!

Cave 4 crystals (Chihuahua, Mexico)
Crystal Cave was discovered as recently as 2000. It consists entirely of giant crystal-blocks. Here is located the largest crystal-education, length of 12 meters and a diameter of about 4 meters. Magma chamber under the floor of the cave led to the formation of mineral-rich groundwater, which for 500 to 000 years have formed a huge amount of crystals. Humidity in the cave of crystals is about 90-99%, natural temperature is about 50-58 degrees Celsius. There can only be in special equipment, so keen divers, dressed in defense, in a heartbeat go to the cave on the tour. One-time dive lasts no more than 10 minutes.

7 Krubera Cave (Abkhazia, Georgia)
This cave should be called the deepest in the world. It comprises about 2000 meters in depth, and was discovered in 1960. Very often it is also called Crow cave. His middle name she received from research cavers who have found that there are hundreds of crows nesting near its entrance. Personally, I have no doubt that this cave will be interesting even to the most discerning divers, it is really beautiful and very unusual.Personally, I'm nothing like she has not tried. And, you know, not sure I ever make up my mind yet on that. I would be very interested to know what people think about it, those who have been interested in such entertainment.
