It was 8.5 m (28 ft) and so the total cave depth reached 2,212 m (7,257 ft). [1] September 2018 – a photo trip of the PST to the bottom of the cave took place, led by Pavel Demidov, with the English cave photographer Robbie Shone. [9] The team narrowly escaped the flood caused by a rain storm, which filled the lower level of the cave. [10] [11]

This list of deepest mines includes operational and non-operational mines that are at least 2,212 m (7,257 ft), which is the depth of Veryovkina Cave, the deepest known natural cave in the world. The depth measurements in this list represent the difference in elevation from the entrance of the mine to the deepest excavated point.
Pavel Yevgenyevich Demidov (Russian: Павел Евгеньевич Демидов; 13 August 1971 – 23 August 2020) was a Russian speleologist, most known for his work in extreme cave exploration, especially as the leader of the Perovo-speleo team expeditions to Veryovkina Cave on Arabika massif in Abkhazia, from 2017 the deepest cave in the world.
The Arabika contains a number of remarkable caves, gorges, wells, and precipices, including the three deepest-measured caves in the world, Sarma cave (1,830 m, 6,000 ft), Veryovkina Cave (2,209 m, 7,247 ft), and Voronya Cave (2,224 m, 7,297 ft). Alexander Kruber was the first to explore some of these features in 1909.

The map is based on the profile by Perovskij speleo ...
Krubera-Voronja cave is inhabited by endemic species, including four springtails discovered during the CAVEX Team expedition of 2010: Anurida stereoodorata, Deuteraphorura kruberaensis, Schaefferia profundissima, and Plutomurus ortobalaganensis; the last of these is the deepest terrestrial animal ever found on Earth, living 1,980 metres (6,500 ...
The deepest known cave is in the Veryovkina Cave in Georgia, where the altitude difference between the cave's entrance and the deepest explored point (the maximum depth) is 2,209 meters (7,247 ft), reached in 2019 by a Perovo-speleo team and re-measured more precisely in 2024.
