Only just learnt about Lake Jindabyne/ Jindabyne and how the town was flooded in order for the snowy hydro. I quickly came to KZitem to look at scuba diving videos of it and found this. Amazing video and thank you for showing us the world down there!! Safe dives!

May I also please ask, are the diving lines already down there or did someone go ahead and lay them down for you before you dove? Just curious to know if anyone with a scuba ticket can do this?

Hi. No the lines are not there permanently. We ran the lines ourselves. We took them back out when we left. I mean technically if you have the GPS coordinates and have your own gear there is nothing stopping anyone diving there. I would suggest it's not the place for people who don't have a lot more than just a recreational scuba tickets. We for example are all experienced cave divers and rebreather divers. It is cold, deep, dark and at altitude.

@@seanpe80 Thank you! A lot of the diving/ cave diving videos I’ve watched the lines have already been laid out. I guess if they’re laid out like that it would be open for trouble with inexperienced people. I did a dive last year and am thinking about getting my PADI licence but wasn’t sure if this was considered a dive/ or a cave dive. I definitely do not have the experience/ nor licence for that! Have safe dives!!!

It isn't a cave as such as its a lake but given that its pretty much pitch black down there with a very low viz running lines helps but not necessary. Its not just a standard dive though. Its pitch black, fresh water, at altitude, very cold and deep. In a cave there is a fixed spot to start from but its not the same when you are in open water and have to use a GPS and anchor a boat each time. Plus running the line in the lake is to help keep everyone together, see the site easily and make your way back to the boat but its not necessary as you can always just swim to surface if you get lost (unlike a cave) You also aren't trying to cover hundreds of metres or km's of cave system to explore new areas. Caves tend to end up with cave divers putting in fixed lines in to save having to do it every time and to keep exploring further as it takes time to run line. Definitely get your PADI licence and start doing some dives. After that there is loads of different speciality areas you can look at getting into. There is a lot to explore, after all most of the planet is underwater!

This is awesome! I’m currently in uni studying archaeology, hoping to one day be a marine archaeologist, and seeing people explore underwater locales so close to home is really inspiring to me. Thank you so much 🙏
