Water and sediment samples at 2,3km -172m on an Ouroboros Rebreather

The report in english is online on www.snoopyloop.com

I enjoyed reading that. Are you planning on going back to find the back of the cave?

Is it possible to set up a habitat/deco area at the bottom of the shaft area?

Andy

1) Yes I'll go back to take more sediment through the dry season for the Marseilles Water company

1 bis) No I won't find the back of the cave, until I'll have a Bill Stone type 3D Maper

those Big shafts are too big to find your way, we are speaking about diameter > 80m at -172m so apart from "The Cave film" mapper ...

2) The 1993 exped set up a wheelie-bin-habitat in sump 2 in front of the Dam, but due to the nowadays no trepassing in the shaft you can forget about the idea ... but don't worry the sea 19-20 cel deg area is fantastic for deco ... in compare with the Chaudanne cave 6 cel deg in Switzerland

Andy if interested about trips to Fr caves send me a mail (I live 40 min from Cambridge)

Hi Doc.
Nice reports of all your cave excursion

Are you thinking about writing a book?

Thank you

Not cave trained at all.... I am sure I would not be very useful on such cave trips

not sure I fancy the idea of being miles inside a cave anyway, but do enjoy diving in the cavern zone where you can just see the exit

Beware of the Dark Side of the cave guys as Yoda would say

the cavern attract you and then the beauty, the purity, the silence of the place suck you in

it's like diving in an archeological museum, you can see how mother nature have been via the water digging her way out, the caves who have been exposed to the sea (ex at the Jurassic) will have fossiles in their walls, and non of the caves look the same, they all different in their shapes, colors, flow, character ... sorry to be long, I just love it

Good idea for the book (got tones of funny and scary stories) but unfortunately no time for it, maybe when I'll retire in 30 years

PS Cave diving in France is also FANTASTIC for food and wine

of course wine after the push dive !!!

Jerome

That's why I would like to go there!!
Mexico is fantastic but nothing to do with Dordogne about food and wine.
Palinuro, Italy a lot better but still...something's missing.
North Italy same as above.
I'm really asking myself if I like more food&wine or caves

Cheers

It remind me a journey with a scotish guy (who is on this board) into the North East of France investigating caves but finishing drinking "Bourgogne" wine and tasting local food instead of cave diving

Nad and others no bubble maker, you're more than welcome to join us investigating caves AKA the ones containing water and/or wines

Drop me a line on my mail and I'll give you my area of investigation for 2006

Lets enjoy life today, we never know what will happen tomorow
