That was a year ago guys, funny to see that thread emerging again.

Due to the distance (2,2km) and the short time over there (1,5 day) and the urgency of the sample being done (they call me 4 days before when I was in the UK and the cave is south of France, do the math) I decided to go semi alpine: 2 scooters to go and come back as quick as possible and therefore travelling light: a few S80's

That shaft is too big, I'll only go back when Bill Stone will lend me is 3DuwMapper ... damned he sold it to the Nasa and that's on his way to Mars

Doesn't mater, plenty of other deep caves to investigate !

Feel free mate

snoopyloop.com should be back running soon, I had some problem with the server, but should be back online this week (the weather is too bad to go diving in the Lot county

)

thanks for answering .
I have dove the fla caverns and talked to many instructor and they keep reminding me of silt out conditions and being unable to see gauges , so I felt that zipping along in a scooter you would stir up all that silt .my hat is off to you to control reel and inflator buttons at same time wow

You can use wrong kicking technique and stir up the silt and you can use wrong scootering technique to stir it up

Up yours, as our finnish ski jumping legend Matti Nykänen once said...

Great dive Jerome!
