Cavern instruction in Lot/Dordogne, France?

[gsk3]

Going to be in the Dordogne for a bit in August, and am thinking about taking a cavern class. I know most people here are Florida-based, but does anyone have instructor recommendations for France?

Thanks.

Cavern is not possible in the Lot: no caverns...

Thanks Mart. Someone had suggested that there were so I was looking into it.

Are you going to be on the GUE-BE Oosterschelde dive at the end of July? If so, might get to meet you there.

Best,

No, I will be in Turkey then. Sorry.

No worries. Have a great trip.

You can do decent cavern dive in St Sauvier and Ressel
St George and Cabouye semi decent cavern dive
There is few instructors around in August, but not sure if anyone has free time spot to do Cavern course, Intro to Cave would be easier to arrange
Also water is +13c so drysuit is nice thing to have

If you are lucky you can do a very short cavern dive in St Sauveur. Ressel, St George, Cabouy: impossible.

Fly me over and we can make something happen.

Ha. I think the problem at this point seems to be lack of caverns and suitable gear rental rather than lack of instructors

Yes, but I can bring the equipment, and I have found a couple cavers that will work in Croatia, so should we say there?
