Kilsby Sinkhole

Did you know?

Its history explains Australia's current regulations: in the 1950s people dived here with no prior training and, after a double drowning, the property became a weapons research centre. Later an agreement was reached between the owners and the Cave Divers Association of Australia to reopen it. Following several deaths at Kilsby and in the neighbouring sinkholes, the association tightened its requirements: it is worth finding out what they are before booking. It is also open to freedivers and snorkellers through the approved operators.
