An experienced cave diver died during the dive in Elephante Bianco, Northern Italy

The Czech speleosub body, disappeared Sunday in the submerged cave “White Elephant” in the little pond of Subiolo in Valstagna (VI - Italy) has been detected and recovered Tuesday evening thanks to a submerged robot that followed the indications of Alberto Cavedon (CNSAS Committee Speleosub technician). The man has effected more than 300 immersions in the underwater cave and he knows this cave really well. The speleologist experience has brought the rescuers to choose to make to go up the robot toward a ceiling of the rooms where in fact the body has been sighted. Cavedon dipped alone, he has reached the dead speleosub, he has brought him up to around -45 meters and he has tied him with the lead lines not to make him drag away from the flood, then he has removed from the old abandoned lead lines dangerous for other speleosub passages (because can confuse the orientation in the cave). Then the CNSAS technical has returned in surface and the firemen have recovered the body.
