Shinji Spring Cave (also known as Shintzi) is a flooded karst cave system in the Arcadian mountains near the Church Agios Athanasios, approximately 5 km from the town of Kandila, Greece.^[1]^[2]

Description:[edit]

Situated at an altitude of 700m within a secluded geological basin, the Shinji Spring Cave is a typical karst spring. Over time, rainwater, acidified by dissolved carbon dioxide, has dissolved the limestone in an intricate labyrinth of tunnels.^[3]. The cave's water is fresh and has a consistent temperature of 10 to 12 degrees Celsius year-round.^[4]

Exploration and Discoveries:[edit]

Exploration of Shinji Spring Cave began in 1996 when a group of diving speleologists of SPELEO^[5] started to map its passages. The cave's length has been measured to exceed 1.4 km. Expeditions in 2009 and 2015 reached depths of 153 m and 186 m, respectively.^[6].

Significance:[edit]

Shinji Spring Cave is one of the deeper caves in Greece. Its ongoing exploration is a resource for comprehending the geological formations and hydrology of the region. It is claimed to be one of the world's deepest flooded caves.^{[citation needed]}
