It took the team over two and a half hours to reach their final destination. Walking through difficult muddy terrain, partly flooded corridors, and narrow passages whilst at the same time carrying the essential diving gear needed for this exploration. All in all it took over eight hours of effort by a team of eight people to reach the flooded sections and exit from the mine.

Underwater two adjacent but separate flooded openings were investigated. One diver located a small shaft of approximately 10 meters in length which ended at a very narrow opening, too small for a diver to push through without removing the tanks. The restriction size, poor visibility caused by the silt, and not knowing what is behind this restriction (i.e. if the diver has enough room to turn and exit) makes venturing through this opening extremely risky. There is another entrance to a flooded section located close by, however, a ladder would be needed to get the divers to reach this point safely. The divers assessed the situation and determined it would be extremely dangerous to attempt to conduct a dive given the current circumstances.
