Last week I visited France again, and we got a permit for a small cave. For everybody who wants to dive this cave: only with a permit allowed.
It is a small cave, just 180m long, 17m deep. Watertemperature is 11degrees C, and it is most times clear, really clear. Even now it had some slight current in the restriction near the entrance. In spring the current can be hard, then you need the steel chains to pull yourself in.

The cave has everything: a small circuit, a restricton, a siltout tunnel, and an airbell (not breathable).

Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures. It's a classic cave dive location. Hope to go there one day...
 
Looks fantastic. A cave dive in france, any cave in France really, is on my must-do list. :)
