Talk:Artur Kozłowski (speleologist)

Dedication
This page has been set up for the late Artur Kozlowski, known to his friends as Artur Conrad. During his cave diving career he extended many cave systems in Ireland and was responsible for extending the Marble arch system from 4kms to over 11kms in total length. This page will be updated correctly and further by his friends and peers during the next number of days/weeks and will be a considerable page with references etc. RIP Artur

URL for blog
It appears that the previously reverted, unsigned change of the URL for Kozłowski's blog was actually correct; it was just done improperly. (The URL previously given in the "External links" section and one of the references is a dead link.) I have, therefore, changed it back. Gildir (talk) 15:19, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Cause of death??
Hi, the article and the citation do not state what the diver died from during the cave dive? Was he trapped? Did he run out of air? Or was it never determined? IQ125 (talk) 16:55, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Deepest dive
"deepest cave dive in Ireland and the UK". These are two different nations. Shouldn't it be "deepest cave dive in Ireland, or The Republic of Ireland, the be precise"? You can't say "and the UK" because the location where the record was set isn't part of the UK! The record in the UK is different and held by others. Fantastic achievement nonetheless.Yevad (talk) 22:04, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Not a lot of new cave diving discoveries are made in Ireland, and the cave diving communities of the UK and Ireland are somewhat linked. There are also not many known "deep" cave dives in Ireland. Often, caving achievements in Ireland are ranked either within a Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland or all-island context (the latter of which is perhaps the most appropriate for geographical features such as this), however when they are important enough they tend to be ranked against Great Britain as well, to denote a geographically wider notability. This may change in future if Ireland gets a renaissance of caving and diving records popping up.
 * This dive, in particular, beat records from the last 50 or more years of cave diving achievements across the geographical unit of the British Isles (which for the most part were performed by British cavers, even if the achievements were in Ireland; Martyn Farr, case in point). However "British Isles" is often considered a political term, so I have updated the article to say Great Britain and Ireland.


 * NB: The report cited for the record (an Irish publication) actually stated "England" and Ireland, which raises its own issues :-) Fattonyni (talk) 12:39, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
