WOOKEY EXPOSED - DVDWookey Exposed

Beneath the Mendip hills of Southern England lies a cave system that has challenged explorers since the earliest times, and continues to do so today. As one of the UK’s most popular showcaves the public can venture as far as the ninth chamber, but from this point onwards much of the cave lies underwater and is the sole domain of the cave divers.

Filmed and produced by Gavin Newman this award winning film looks at the spectacular discoveries made by successive generations of explorers and joins the latest team to take up the challenge. Using specially designed camera systems we follow the divers to the very limits of the exploration as they attempt to push on into the darkness beyond the end of Wookey Hole.
