Number 3........

Out of curiosity, I Googled this one and it would appear there is no straight answer. Tony is probably right, but if so, the cave in question is [i]above[i] sea level even at its deepest point ! Therefore, strictly speaking, it isn't deep.

I wonder which answer the Quizz Master will come up with ? :thinking:

Jim the cave I was referring to was the Baredine Cave at Porec in Croatia. Still don't know which mountain it is under. Just know it is an amazing experience to visit there.
