Exploration is complicated by the cold water and narrow passages of the underwater cave system, and divers can get lost in its side passages. [ 6 ] [ 3 ] The connection between Pluragrotta and Steinugleflåget caves remained undiscovered for decades, in part because of the difficult access route to the dry cave, Steinugleflåget.

Late August 2017 – the PST reached a depth of 2,204 m (7,231 ft), thus setting a new world depth record. A huge system of more than 6,000 m (20,000 ft) of subhorizontal passages below −2,100 m (−6,900 ft) was discovered and surveyed. March 2018 – another expedition of the same team added more than a kilometer of tunnels to the cave map.
The Chiquibul Cave System is one of the largest and best-known cave systems in Central America.

The abyss has an elliptical shape and is situated in the SE-SW direction. It is approximately 110 metres (360 ft) long at its longest point and 50 metres (160 ft) wide at its widest point. For most visitors the most interesting figure is the depth of the abyss including the flooded part, but in reality it is a rather rugged karst system.
