In conversation with...Thai cave diving rescue hero, Huddersfield-born Jason Mallinson

Jason Mallinson was one of the British cave divers flown in to save the Wild Boars football team and their coach, who were trapped in Thailand’s Tham Luang Nang Non Caves in 2018. Here, Jason talks about how he got into cave diving, feeling claustrophobic and his world record for the deepest cave dive in Pozo Azul.
Jason was conferred with an Honorary Doctorate of the University for services to cave diving exploration and rescue. Read the full story: www.hud.ac/fp2

dry caving ?is that potholeing ??

[@bigbulk688]

Caves with no water in them, so one can walk or crawl, no diving needed.

Potholing is usually pretty wet but can be dry sometimes.
