Memories of last weekend diving Diving Tuna Hästberg - Adventuremine.
The mine dates back to the 1600s, but most of its 12.5 miles (20 kilometers) of tunnels were dug in the late 19th and early 20th-centuries. The tunnels go down about 1,700 feet (520 meters) underground but are filled with water up to the 280 feet (85 meters).
The mine is like a time capsule, with various items, sign boxes, and furniture still remaining since its closure in 1968. At higher levels, it was worth the effort to remove certain things, but the lower you go the more untouched it gets. However, the most impressive sight in the mine is the large pillared halls found throughout. These are a result of the various mining techniques of the day.
