This Thursday, August 29, early in the afternoon, the firefighters of Martel, the departmental direction of Gramat and a team of divers were engaged in a submerged cavity of the resurgence of Saint-Georges, commune of Montvalent, to rescue a 32-year-old cave diver in absolute emergency. The man was participating in a training course as a supervisor. Despite the intervention of the emergency services, he died. The Marseillan nautical brigade and the French Spéléo-Secours were called to bring up the body of the victim located far from the main entrance of the network (it was brought up on August 30 at around 4:30 p.m.). An investigation was entrusted to the gendarmerie of Lot to determine the circumstances of the tragedy.

Translation is accurate enough. Happened in late August, the diver was very experienced. No more info since then. RIP.
