Cave Diving Gone Wrong - Tragical Incident Of Agnes Milowka

The story of Agnes Milowka is heartbreaking, but we can find consolation in the fact that she lived her dream of being a cave explorer. Tank Cave stands out among the best out of all the caves around Mount Gambier. Agnes was exploring the mysteries of the cave till she met her untimely demise.

Tank Cave got its name from a water tank that sits directly on top of the entrance. It is located in Mt. Gambier, South Australia. To enter the cave, you have to climb down a short ladder because the entrance is underground. The Cave Divers Association of Australia strictly controls access to this entrance. Tank Cave is a rare gem, and diving through it gives divers joy.

The cave, which has a small surface, leads to an extensive, maze-like system with over 23000 ft (7010m) of passage that cavers can dive through. It also has numerous side tunnels. The cave is relatively shallow; its maximum depth is around 65 ft (20m). Its water is crystal clear; you can dive through the water with utmost clarity and little or no hindrance. Tank cave is one of the longest underwater caves in Australia, and a fixed line runs throughout most of the cave.
