  • Ein STROKE Mehr
    Cave Diving British Style.... the LAST adventure British divers Ric Stanton and Jason Mallinson have become leading lights in the dark art of cave-diving, after achieving a penetration of France's Emergence du Ressel previously believed impossible. Martyn Farr spent an anxious time as a support diver on the expedition Gliding through the balmy waters of southern France, holidaymaking canoeists occasionally glimpse unusual activity in the murky river just upstream of the sleepy little town of Marcilhac-sur-Cete. Leading down from its bed is an alien world of darkness, miles of flooded cave tunnel touching depths of 80m or more. The Dordogne is a popular destination for cave and technical divers. Some of the longest and deepest dives in the world have been undertaken here and some of these projects are still quietly progressing. For more than 30 years the Ressel has tested leading European cave-divers. The outstanding German pioneer Jochen Hasenmayer reached a point 1750m from base in 1981, though it was left to the Swiss diver Olivier Isler to make the first "breakthrough" when, in 1990, he ascended from 80m depth in the final shaft to reach air at 1950m. Ahead, a steep, boulder-strewn slope led away into darkness - an open, dry cave just waiting to be explored. Isler's audacious advance was made possible through the support of a large team of highly experienced divers and the new RI2000 semi-closed rebreather. From the reports at the time it seemed clear that rebreather technology would be essential if divers were to safely negotiate the best part of 2km of deep waterway to reach the unexplored cave.

  • Einige Gedanken Zur Blauhöhle Und Der Grabung

(B) Zugang über den Blautopf (C) Zugang über die Albhochfläche 1. Lage des Schachtes im Einzugsgebiet 2. Höhenlage und Entfernung des Schachts zum Blautopf 3. Der Anstieg der Blauhöhle (D) Weitere Punkte für eine erfolgversprechende Grabung 1. Zunächst einige triviale Sachen 2. Grabungsumstände 3. Wichtige, die Grabungsmannschaft betreffende Punkte (E) Die Grabung im Sontheimer Schacht 1 (F) Zusammenfassung Literatur Seit den grandiosen Entdeckungen von Jochen HASENMAYER im Blautopf dreht sich des öfteren das Gesprächsthema der schwäbischen Höfos um dieses Höhlensystem. Dabei stehen meist die Fragen nach dem Alter der Verkarstung und der Nutzung eventuell vorhandener geothermaler Energie im Mittelpunkt der Diskussionen. Nur sehr wenige scheinen sich jedoch mit einem weiteren Aspekt intensiver zu befassen, nämlich der Höhle, die hinter dem Blautopf liegt und bis weit unter die Albhochfläche reicht. Man liest darüber fast nichts und auch in Gesprächen wird das Thema selten vertieft; oft wird unter dem Hinweis der Unerreichbarkeit dieser Höhle jede weiterführende Diskussion zum nutzlosen Zeitvertreib erklärt. Mit dieser Grundeinstellung ist und bleibt diese Höhle tatsächlich unerreichbar. Dabei handelt es sich mit einer großen Wahrscheinlichkeit um das größte Höhlensystem auf der Schwäbischen Alb, vielleicht sogar Deutschlands. Im folgenden Artikel habe ich deshalb einige Überlegungen zu diesem sehr interessanten Thema formuliert. Sie stellen keine geschlossene Theorie dar, mit der irgendwas bewiesen werden soll; sie sollen vielmehr andere Höfos dazu anregen, sich ebenfalls mit diesem Thema, der Fortsetzung der Blautopfunterwasserhöhle unter der Schwäbischen Alb, zu beschäftigen und vielleicht, wie wir in Grabenstetten und Sontheim, nach Wegen in diese Höhle zu suchen.

  • An Interview with Jochen Hasenmayer
    An Interview with Jochen Hasenmayer This recording was originally conducted over the phone for an Icelandic radio documentary made by Jan Murtomaa. The questions were formulated by Jan in English, and translated and presented by Hjálmar Sveinsson. The English transcript was kindly created by Chris Snuggs. Interviewer: Herr Hasenmayer, how old were you when you first went caving? Hasenmayer : That was in 1957, so I was 15 at the time. And at the age of 17 in 1959 I dived in my first cave and surfaced inside a mountain where no human had ever set foot before - I was the first to have ever shed a light in this darkness ... and that was the beginning of my fascination with the exploration of the underground world. Interviewer : Can you describe the feeling you have when you are alone in the cramped and dark space that you find inside a flooded cave?
