Traditional and famous European Cave Diving Destination

  • lodging at Monique and Harald Franzen in Blars - lotcavediving.eu

  • nice and familiar atmosphere - thanks to you!

  • participants: Olaf Kreuschner, Family Prothmann, Sylikon, Carmen Brauer, Family Baumgarten, Wolfgang Helm, Fam. Büttner, Peter Knobel

  • oxy-docs equipment this tour: 12 l steel side mount, Bonex scooters and Alu stages

  • it is very hot during the day in June, so feel free to arrive early at the dive site

  • and also very timely coming secures parking...

  • at least reasonably good parking at the Truff and Ressel 2

  • the vis is not great, but that was probably typical for this time of year

  • There is enough information about these caves. Some sampels: "Stepfus cave dive guide France" and the brand new book "Classic Dark Side Diving" ( Martyn Farr). We have nothing to add, so far no additional details;)

  • afternoon program: St. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, La Cave, scooter whizz...

  • fun and exiting: activité spéléologie- we go often with Jean-Luc from quercyaventure.com in dry and water caves

  • the caves are not good for bigger groups

  • Although the Lot is very popular with the international cave divers community, there is any kind of infrastructure to the caves acces, there is neither equipment tables, toilets or meaningful signs ...!

France, Jura 2003 - old but maybe still intersting stuff

One week cave PATD Intro to cave Instructor Training by Bernd Aspacher

Location Malbuisson-Mouthe- beautiful landscape - but some days ago it has rain like cats and dogs!

The Doye Gabet impossible to dive because of the current...

The Source de l'Ain, Conte, shows 2 meters plus...

The Source de Doubs, Mouthe, has a flow of 7000l/sec and it is impossible to get in...

The Les Sources du Lison is overfloaded...

The Source De la Loue sinks in rainfall...

Only the Source Bleue is diveable,
dive time one hour and 17 meters with very bad visibility.

After the next 3 hours car ride we arrive at the Source du Planey.

The Source du Planey is located in a beautiful forest. Unfortenately while entering we sink in clay up to our hips. But vis is ok, so we have a nice dive in 20 Meter for approx. one hour.

The exit was very funny- with all the mud!
