Agnes Milowka
While initially fascinated with reefs and wrecks, these days it is the caves, both wet and dry, that have Ag enthralled. She is most passionate about the exploration of never before seen passage. Ag spent a year living and diving in Florida's cave country, where she got her first taste of laying line where she found several kilometers of passage. She was hooked on the phenomenal feeling of reaching a place that no other human has ever seen before. Upon her return to Oz she became one of only a handful of divers to dive to the back end of Cocklebiddy Cave, the longest cave in Australia. Recently she pushed through numerous sumps in order to discover in excess of 1500m of dry cave passage, in what has become the deepest cave in Victoria. Ag continues to go where no man has gone before, exploring and pushing new cave systems and bringing back images from her adventures... and is looking forward to sharing them at EuroTek.More information >>
