PARNASSUS - POLIDROSSO SPRING

The Polydrosso spring, also known as "Saint Eleousa's spring", is found NW of Parnassos in altitude of 300 metres near the homonym village of prefecture Fokida.
From information we have gathered, the spring had been dived only once and for only a few meters. On July 1989 G.Spinos, D.Kompiliris and N.Anastasopoulos, all members of SP.EL.E.O, performed the first exploration reaching 12 m. max depth and 30 m. penetration. According to the divers, the entrance was extremely narrow (only G. Spinos could pass through, while the other two awaited him). The information comes from D.Kompiliri and the magazine "Korfes" vol.82 (March-April 1990).
 

The entrance of the cavern was indeed so narrow that excluded the entry with back-mounted configuration. However, with the use of a car jack (Toyota Rav4) we managed to open up the entrance.
The first metres after the narrow section are impressive: a big drowned gallery with roots that go down from the roof and form an underwater forest.  There is also a dome of air, of about 2 m. diameter and 1 m height. After that, the cavern deepens and forms a very beautiful, interesting and relatively spacious tunnel. The water temperature is 11deg C.
The uniqueness of the dives here, of course, is that you can see two drillings at 30 m depth!
