● Scope - What is and how is born Timavo System Exploration

“Timavo System Exploration is a long term program of speleo – diving exploration based on a initial project and than evolved in a continuos improvement program “

It is born april 3, 2013 from a simply idea to relight a common dream and give back some news about the mistery of Timavo River

Was immediately understood the importance of French-Italian cooperation

Requests lead to a careful think about the potential difficulties and risks of the operations

Great Success or Great Failure

In small time the board of Società Adriatica di Speleologia wrote a guide document for drive the logistic project trought 3 teams:

• Organizational and comunication team

• External support team

• Technical and Risk mitigation team

● Plan – Logistic Organization

“Find the way” Develop 289 m (+ 70 m) and deep -72 m.

Key point from Diver point of view • Visibility is about 1,5 M • The current is very changing - High risk• Rapidly at – 70/80 M• Temperature of 12°• Decompression chamber almost impossible• Rebreathers usage • Access trough a pit – no dry area

Next step • Decompression chamber • Metal rope • More divers • New mapping technology

Key point from Diver point of view • Visibility is about 0,5 M The current is very low • The dept small max 20 M Temperature of 12°• No decompression problem The complexity is extreme. • Contorted shapes – Orientation problem Over 470 M river exploration

Next step • Edouring and patience • Metal rope or reinforce already in place • May be use a new technology for visibility
