In the early eighties of last century important speleo—discoveries were done in Tskhaltubo limestone massif. Expedition unit of the Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography of Georgian Academy of Sciences became the discoverer of the multientrance labyrinth cave system, the total length of the corridors of which partially filled with water exceeded 15 km. Exited years of discovery and improvement works of this unique cave system became the property of the history. This article is dedicated to the events and people involved in them.
