Orda Cave is the longest underwater gypsum cave in the world: it is about 5.1 km long, of which 4.8 km are underwater. Situated 130 km south-east of the Perm city on the outskirts of the village Orda (south-west) this place is a paradise for divers and speleologists who come from all over the world to study it. She is nicknamed the "white bride" because of the chalky colour of the gypsum rock. Although the rock system formed about 200 million years ago, exploration only began in the early 1990s at the initiative of a group of amateur speleologists. Its entrance is in the Kazakovskaya mountain on the banks of the Kungur river. The cave has a large number of underground galleries bearing the names of the cities of origin of the first explorers: Sverdlovsky, Chelyabinsky, Krasnoyarsky, Moskovsky... Today Orda cave is only accessible to professional or very experienced divers because of many difficulties such as the low water temperature (+4 °C). The Orda cave is one of the best equipped in the world: it has a safe staircase, electric lighting inside and a comfortable diving platform. To access it, it is best to contact the Underwater Speleology Center, in charge of its management, which will accompany you during your exploration. Go to the site to contact them by e-mail.
