Orda Cave:-
Ordinskaya, or the Orda Cave, is the longest underwater cave in Russia and the world’s only known underwater gypsum cave. Its length is almost 5 kilometers (3 mi) of cavern with water so clear that divers can see nearly 45 meters (150 ft) ahead of them. There are also no currents in the cave.
The Orda Cave is not a good place to get lost in. Smaller passages and caverns leading away from the main cavern are still being found. The water is a freezing -20° Celsius (-4° F) at the surface, and any cave surface you touch can easily break off. Cave diver Lamar Hires says that he has seen chunks of gypsum as large as cars and buses fall from the walls and ceiling.
