On the afternoon of the 30th, three diving enthusiasts from Shanghai dived in a cave near the Yuchong River in Dafang County, Guizhou Province.
A person familiar with the matter revealed to the Beijing News that the 3 people are preparing to open a short video account for releasing various videos of China's underwater world. They set off from Shanghai a few days ago, drove a motorhome to Guizhou, and began diving in Dalongtan. Previously, they had come to explore the way near the source of the Yuchong River, and the trapped person was Yin Moumou, who was responsible for the shooting work in the dive.
The above-mentioned insider said that on the afternoon of the 30th, 3 people carried the equipment prepared in advance to dive, entered the cave laterally from the mouth of the cave at 40 meters, and after advancing 700 meters forward, the two people swimming in front returned, and found that Yin Moumou was trapped in the water about 500 meters from the mouth of the cave. "When he was found, he had no vital signs, and his companions suspected that there might be a problem with Yin's equipment, and because the two could not rescue him, he returned to the cave with the camera on Yin's body and asked the local rescue department for help."
The above-mentioned people familiar with the matter said that this is a rescue of world-class difficulty. The strongest submersible technology in China can enter this cave no more than 20 people. At present, the family of the trapped person Yin Moumou is on the way to come, and a female diver from outside the province has been contacted to come from other places to support.
At about 4 p.m. on the 31st, a reporter from the Beijing News learned from the staff of the relevant departments in Dafang County that the local police are currently studying rescue plans with the rescue team and diving experts in Guizhou and carrying out rescue work. In addition, the Beijing News reporter confirmed from the Yuchong Township police station that the rescue work is currently being carried out, and it has not yet been determined whether the trapped person is killed, and the specific situation is not convenient to disclose.
The Beijing News reporter searched and found that under the name of the trapped person Yin Moumou, there was a Shanghai Pan Diving Diving Club Co., Ltd. and a Shanghai Huaqian Information Technology Co., Ltd., the two companies were established in October 2019 and July 2021, respectively, and Yin Moumou was the legal representative.
Relevant information shows that underwater caves refer to caves formed underground, undersea terrain, and coral reefs, which are underwater passages that divers cannot directly access on land. Cave diving, abbreviated as "cave diving", refers to the ground cave explorer through a variety of special techniques, in the filling of the channel to continue to open up the path of exploration. Cave diving is completely different from ordinary diving, as one of the branches of technical diving, cave diving is undoubtedly the most difficult and the highest mortality rate.
