Had a great experience visiting one of the most profitable diamond mines in the country the "Cullinan diamond mine" and we went down to underground level of 839 mts the current mining area and then to an upper level of 763 mts.
It was an amazing experience seeing how ore with diamonds are mined, sorted and produced. We had a brilliant guide who has been working in this mine for over 40 years and now consults and does tours for them.
We also made some good friendships with several other people who were doing basic training so that they could work in the mine.
We finished our tour just as the day's shift end, great experience. Once on the surface we were taken to the original open cut above the actual mine and also the Diamond sales room where we could purchase what we liked.
