The terrain.

The aquatic version of En Gorner follows the lower network of the cave, accessible only in a wetsuit. You cross the pink marble gallery, then the Metro gallery, before rappelling down the iron shaft — gateway to the underground river still actively carving the marble.

Five hours immersed in an active underground world: white marble basins to swim across, a buried river beach tens of metres underground, a deep lake to explore by headlamp — a vast and precious water reserve. An experience reserved for those with strong fitness and comfort in water.
