Not too bad a view



Dive dates: 22-25.4.11
Water: 0m-40m +13c
Rig: 2x12, AL80, EANx, leaking dry suit

During easter 2011 I headed to southern France to get further cave training - IANTD Technical cave diver course.

During four days we did 10-11 dives, depending if you count the second one to Truffe, which was slightly messy, entrance through the restriction in zero viz and confused diver(s).

I learned a lot, only lost one mask and one backup light, and generally enjoyed the trip very much. I'm planning to go back with more time and less diving scheduled.

This time we managed to dive Truffe, Ressel and St. Georges.

Water level was really low due to unusually dry spring.

Thanks for the course and company to Teppo and Elmer.

We stayed with Centre de Plongée Souterraine, operated by a Dutch couple - who among their other qualities (gas blending, talking a lot) were great chefs. Recommend their place:
