Two days after helping set the world record in caving depth, García-Dils squints as he emerges from Krubera Cave. "After two weeks under the earth, it is very hard to open your eyes at the surface," he said. This expedition set a new depth record of 1,840 meters (6,040 feet) in August 2004. Only two months later that record was bested when a second team from the Call of the Abyss project led by Yuri Kasjan set still another new record in Krubera, descending to 2,080 meters (6,820 feet).
