Three British divers -- who helped rescue a trapped soccer team in Thailand in 2018 -- have discovered that the world's largest cave is even bigger than previously thought
One of the world's most precious natural wonders, Son Doong was inadvertently discovered by Vietnam resident Ho Khanh in 1990.
After the BCRA explored and measured the cave, they proclaimed it the largest in the world in 2010 -- so big that you could fit a New York City block with 40-story skyscrapers inside it, according to Oxalis's estimations. Opened to tourists in 2013, the three-million-year-old river cave is easily one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
It's certainly physically challenging, but Limbert says the trek is accessible to anyone who is reasonably fit and doesn't mind getting muddy. And you will get muddy.During the mission, divers were able to reach a depth of about 78 meters while diving on air .The first 1.5 days are spent trekking through Hang En Cave -- the third-largest cave in the world -- to reach ultra-remote Son Doong.
