Molnár János Cave – Malom-tó spring entrance
Zone 1: operator zone [2] (The operator's rules allow wetsuits only in Zone 1; all other zones are drysuit-only. Zone boundaries are not published in the rules.). Estas categorias são do próprio esquema nomeado; elas descrevem o treinamento que o local exige.
The diving entrance to the Molnár János Cave, reached through the licensed dive centre beside Malom-tó in Buda. Guided dives only; groups are capped and the operator publishes its rules and prices.
Divers enter the Molnár János Cave from the dive centre at Frankel Leó út 48, beside the spring-fed Malom-tó (Mill Lake). The operator runs guided cave dives, intro dives for non-cave-certified divers, longer and deeper guided dives, and night dives.
The dive centre publishes detailed general rules: every diver signs a dive plan and rescue plan, carries specified redundant equipment, and dives within a guided group. Gas analysis is mandatory, and the guide decides whether a scooter (DPV) may be used on a given dive.
Because the cave is strictly protected, the rules forbid taking anything out of the cave and ask divers to avoid touching formations and walls.
O ambiente
Warm, clear thermal water in large, mostly phreatic (water-filled) passages and halls; the operator describes deep and wide tunnels where sidemount is welcome but not required. Temperatures vary between passages.
Condições
The operator gives 20-28 °C year-round and very slow flow; research measurements in autumn 2025 were about 20-26 °C.
