Many come to Hungary for the sake of its most valuable healing waters. But very few people know that in Budapest it is possible not only to adopt medical procedures or to swim in pools but also to practice diving. So, for example, it is possible to swim for a while on the flooded cellars of the Kőbánya mine from which extracted limestone for construction of Parliament, Buda Castle and the Citadel. At the end of the 19th century, the cave was closed. But on it, history didn't end. During World War II it served as the shelter for refugees from aggressors. Then in 1944, it was engaged in the confidential production of details for planes. After the partial flooding of branches of the mine on its base opened the brewery, it was promoted by the excellent quality of drinking water. Now the brewery doesn't function and the cave of "Kyobanya" turned into a tourist place of interest – the place for diving. If you are the beginner, then you can practice in more shallow sites of a cave and the advanced divers, who know the features and technique of cave diving.
