Om någon är intresserad av att i efterhand lyssna på Micael Björks eminenta dragning i samband med onsdagens presskonferens om historien bakom Tunnrummet så ligger livestreamen nu upplagd på Sala Silvergruvas Play-tjänst.

Sala Silvergruva är med sin månghundraåriga historia full av olösta mysterier. Mycket på grund av att halva gruvan är vattenfylld sedan 100 år tillbaka. Ända sedan 2006 har man inom Dykprojekt Sala Silvergruva utforskat dessa svåråtkomliga delar. ”Ända sedan dykningarna inleddes, har s....

The eagle has landed!

The search for the royal marker that started 2007 took a big leap forward this weekend. We have now managed to reach all the way to the area in the mine where the royal marker of king Karl XI is supposed to be located. According to the old mine documentation, the marker was left during the king’s visit year 1687. Maps show that the marker should be located next to the shaft named after another old king; Gustav III. This shaft stretches all the way from the ground level and passes the level where todays diving has taken place; 250 meters below ground level @ approx. 95 meters water depth.

Attached you can find a complete report from the dive this weekend (sorry, Swedish only) and some video shot with a head mounted GoPro during the bottom phase. There is a lot of work remaining until we can hopefully locate the actual marker, but at least we have made it to the right area! Looks like we are going to have a very interesting spring and summer! 😃

Grottdykning är inget för den med svaga nerver. Dykarna i Sala silvergruva startar 155 meter under marken och ger sig in i klaustrofobiska gångar – utan fungerande kompass.

It's been a while since we published any public video footage from Sala Silvermine, but this is the video loop that is currently being on display at the photo exhibition that is taking place in the mine during summer 2014. Awesome footage if you ask me, not only due to the extremely handsome and skilled model ;)

Don't forget to check out Gruvdykningens Dag (a.k.a Minediving Mania) on July 29 in Sala Silvergruva!
