That depends on where you are in the world. A deep cave in the TAG region is greater than 500 feet. The world's deepest cave systems are over 1000 meters.

Caves are sometimes described by "vertical range" rather than depth, because the entrance(s) may not be at the highest point(s). Indeed, a resugence cave like the magnificent Grotte de Gournier in S.E. France rises all the way in!

Also, although the world's deepest caves tend to consist predominently of sets ofvertical shafts, depth or VRis not necessarily related to steepness. Charterhouse Cave (Mendip Hills, SW England) has a VR of about 700ft - Britain's 5th deepest - but apart from a 100ft deep series of climbs dug down through a huge boulder-choke, and a 25ft ladder pitch, is mainly an irregularslope that starts quite steeply then becomes more gradual.

It looks as if the TAG region's caves compare with most of those in the UK: Ogof Ffynon Ddu in South Wales is of about 1000ft VR but most of the deeper British caves are around the 500ft mark.

France has a goodly share of the deepest caves.

A deep cave is a natural underground hollow typically formed by the erosion of rock by water. These caves extend far beneath the Earth's surface and can vary greatly in size and complexity. Explorers and researchers often study deep caves to understand geological processes and discover new species.

If a lava tube cave is just below the surface then how can one be considered a deep cave?

A lava tube cave can still be considered deep if it extends far below the surface, even if it is not deep in the sense of being far underground. The depth of a cave can be measured by how far it extends vertically from its entrance, not just by its proximity to the surface. Additionally, the size and complexity of the cave system can also contribute to it being considered deep.
