THE CRYSTAL LABYRINTH
Cave Diving | Canada 2014 | Directed by Bryan Smith & David Pearson | 22 minutes
The Bahamas are famous for their white beaches and the world’s deepest ‘blue holes’. Few people know that there is also a vast system of underwater caves hidden beneath the open forests of the islands.
And according to divers Brian Kakuk and Brett Hemphill the most interesting diving spots are not to be found offshore but below the surface. The biggest part of the underground labyrinth is still waiting to be discovered.
Even with years of experience and technical know-how, every single dive into the unknown is an adventure requiring nerves of steel.
