Where is the deepest cave in the world?
Expert “caver” Bill Stone explored the Cheve cave system in Oaxaca, Mexico for decades and recently worked with National Geographic Explorer to film a documentary on his latest exploration to determine if it was the deepest cave.
Inside this podcast you’ll hear from expert caver Kasia Biernacka on what it was like inside Cheve cave system and as part of the expedition. I’ll add my thoughts from my (limited) Mexico caving experience too. Enjoy.
