Trip Report Budapest Cave & Mine Diving

[beldridg]

I know that many Europeans probably already know about the amazing caves & mines in Budapest, but I recently visited and spent some time there and wrote about the experience. Budapest is an amazing city and the cave diving is world class. The trip report includes a ton of details on logistics, lodging, diving operation, etc.

Hopefully others benefit from this Trip Report. I am also writing more detailed posts on the MJ Cave & the Kobanya Mine.

I was following Ben's posts during the trip. This has peaked my interest enough that I might just get some cave classes to make this trip happen. Mostly the mine site.
I saw the rEvo in Ben's pictures, but didn't realize it was yours.

Yep - it was a great trip. I think the next time he does it, they will spend two days diving the mine site. There are four possible dives there and we did two of them.

If you are a cave diver (or want to get into cave diving), the MJ Cave is world class.

Today I published the post specific to the Kobanya Mine.

In the words of @DiveTucson, "a mine dive is like a cave dive and a wreck dive had a baby."

Kobanya Mine (Budapest — 95 ffw)

Intro After spending four days diving in the MJ cave, we headed to a nearby mine to do a couple dives. I think it was Ben Lair that said something like “a mine is like what would happen if a …
