Just back from the Doubs, very wet not much chance of cave diving. Best to go in winter.

Hi Andrew,

what's the situation now with access to Dessoubre? Have they sorted it out yet?

Cheers,

Stuart

Stuart
As far as I know the access is not readily available, but is being sorted out. When we were there last week the site was cordoned of as they were setting up a death slide wire so people can slide across the valley ?

Most other sites were also in flood.

This slide wire is a "tyrolienne" and with more than 500m these is the longest in France. It is one of the attractions to attract new visitors to the vallée du Dessoubre.
The access is denied for any outdoor activity during winter and spring up to the 15th june.
And they consider that "caving" and "cave diving" is an outdoor activity

What a shame, it's my favourite dive in the Doubs. So diving is allowed after 15th June then? When does the season end?
