It is already may, so time to go to France again. I drive on saturday 1100km and will have 2 hours to the rented house the next day. So time to dive then. The others will arrive in the afternoon. I decide to do a ccr cave dive to 76m depth in de st. Georges first. The viz is for this cave good with around 10m. I enjoy it and make a 3 hour dive.
Then I want to try the Combe Negre cave. For me a new cave too. Best is sidemount they told me, but there are some strange people walking around on the parkingplace that I decided to dive the cave with my ccr. A twin12 fits, but my ccr does not fit well. I get stucked, stucked in 60cm deep water 8 m from the entrance. I think one moment of cutting the harnass, but that is just when it will take more than 1 hour to get out of further in. I have to move stones to free myself and then I can go further. I do the first sump of this cave and decide to go out again. The way back is still narrow, but it goes better than in. This time I know what to do. The bailoutcylinder is in front of me, no mount. A nice dive to a depth of 2.2m with my 6/72 diluent, haha.
Then I go to our house and meet the others. We decide to dive the Ressel first and then I go after that dive to the Bial. The Bial is a sidemount cave at the entrance. Last october it was really narrow, so I decide to do the entrance now absolutely no mount. After 6-7m the caves opens again. The viz is this time just a 10-15m, in october it was endless.
The next day we do the Marchepied. Or better say, 2 dives in the whole first sumpt the first day. After these dives we do the Landenouse on backmount.
The Truffe cave we do on wednesday. Cristal clear. Every time beautifull.
The others had never done the St. Georges, so we do this after the Truffe. Backmount oc. The viz is not as good as on sunday.
On Thursday we do the Ressel again. Really busy with divers.
Then we do the Cunhac cave. Really strong current to cross the river. In the cave the line is broken several times. We repaired all till the end of the cave. Only not from entrance to mainline. Current is too strong.
The last day is only sidemount. Truffe and Combe Negre again. In Combe Negre we do the first 3 sumps. Really nice.
Pictures of Combe Negre. My videolight was empty.
