Day 4

Dive 6, The Pressure tube Dive, 2 hr dive:

A second dive is optional, but most divers are done for the day after this dive.

(side passages)

Dive 8, Mud run (or recapping your favourite):

The mud run is one of the very few places in Plura where you can provoke a complete silt out. The first tunnel goes from 35 meters down to a narrow corner at 40 meters. It then slopes up to 21 meters where it meets the main line.

For the diver in front it is a really nice experience, this part of the cave is dark brown limestone and completely differs from the other sections.

If you are not extremely skilled and aware, this is often more of a ‘blind exit practice’ for the other members of the team.

Not excited? No worries, we can just redo your favourite dive of the itinerary.

Itinerary 3: 7 Cave diving days, 8 nights

Combine Plura with Litjåga cave

A mix & match experience

Our third itinerary is a mix and match of the above two itineraries. We will be combining this with two Litjåga cave dives.

Diving the Litjåga cave is more weather sensitive than diving Plura cave, therefore this booking is a more flexible experience.

We want to ensure that you get the best possible experience and will schedule your stay to include at minimum 7 breathtaking cavedives, as well as two dives in Litjåga.

If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to give us a call, or write Ina (your host) an e-mail at ina@pluravalley.com

For those who can’t get enough

Litjåga cave is more narrow than Plura and has a few restrictions at the start of the cave, but it is an amazing site.
The visibility is always good, and it is a beautiful cave for underwater photography.

Location: 1 hour drive and then a short walk (200 meters) to access the cave
