DARCO Żagań Dive Center invites you to dive in Kőbánya mine in Budapest. Note: Everything is set to the last button, i.e. we have the green light from Hungary for the dive as well as a nice hotel, and after the dive we invite you to visit Buda and Pest. For the trip we invite divers and sightseeing relaxers. On the eastern side of Budapest there is a labyrinth of limestone corridors and halls that is the Kőbánya mine. Many, even the city's iconic buildings, were built from limestone extracted from this fossil. In later times, wine producers used it as cellars and since the 20th century the Dreher brewery has owned the site. During World War II, it housed a hidden aircraft engine factory. Nowadays, some of the halls and corridors are underwater, so you can dive in the cold but also crystal clear water. Most of these flooded industrial parts of the mine can only be visited by certified cave divers, but one site is open to all divers. Don't expect a typical mine dive. For the most part, these are basically flooded rooms and corridors of the factory so you won't find rails just stairs. You don't have to be a certified cave diver to dive Molnar Janos Cave or Kobanya Mine. You must have at least an advanced diver certificate (AOWD) and you must be an experienced diver. If you have the necessary experience you can participate in Intro to cave diving (discover cave diving). If you do not have any cave qualification, the minimum requirements are: - Diver certificate at least Advanced - at least 50 logged dives with several night dives - good buoyancy control and swimming technique (frog kick) - experience with Twinset will be an added advantage.
