 | | During filming for "The Cave," stunt diver Joel Tower swims through an explosion that rocks the "Methane Cave," a set that was the size of a football stadium. |
 | | Romania is home to remarkable underwater caves and is an important place to biospeologists (scientists who study cave life), but the caves presented literally a chilling obstacle that prohibited their use in the movie, according to Heinerth. |
 | | Moreover, Romanian caves do not recover well if silted (when diver visibility is clouded), taking days to clear, compared to caves in the Yucatan, the final destination, which become clear again within minutes, says Heinerth. |
