A new fascinating book on cave diving out of Russia with some excellent underwater images, "Orda Cave Awarness Project." It was shot over 6 months, on about 150 dives by a cave diving team. The cave system is near the village of Orda in the Perm region of Russia. t can be ordered for $50. USD from the website:
http://ordacave.ru/en/

Here is a sampling of some of the still images in the book:


The surface



An interior above water view, talk about logistical staging issues, rough terrain and ice!






A blizzard of friable mineral platlettes.






Cubism meets Mars



A surreal underwater vista exquistly captured in still images.

and many more, 100 images I understand are presented in this unique book.

This looks like a must have for cavers, like minded folks or people like myself addicted to collecting unusual books dealing with the underwater world.

There is a website with more information about the cave system at:
