I was away earlier this week. We took a group of students caving in Derbyshire. Had two excellent cave guide with us, and spent about 5 hours on Monday exploring just two miles of the many miles of passages far beyond the showcave called 'The Devils Arse'.

I took a little Pentax Optio W10 with me. Its 100% waterproof, and has seals to let it go underwater to about 2 meters. It was lucky it did, as there were a few bits to swim through where we were completely submerged.
Anyway, camera worked a treat, and this is the first of a couple of underground shots I'll post this week.

Neat capture of this adventure! Not sure if I would be going into such a small cave at all though!

I always wanted one of these Shock-proof, Water-proof, Dust-Proof cameras. You have done a real intimate job of showing the inside of a cave. Well done.

Wow! Lovely image--but I'm with Amy: I would be claustrophobic, indeed!

I can't see a shot like this anymore without thinking of that British movie, Descent.
