    Default New Book about Cave Diving

    Hello

    I have the great pleasure to announce the publication of my book, "The Cave Diving", The Best way to enter in the fifth dimension. ("La Plongée Souterraine," Comment entrer dans la cinquième dimension)
    I'm sorry, but the book in only available in French...!

    This book is published by Editions Eugen Ulmer (http://www.editions-ulmer.fr/html/paraitre.php?=SID), in the same series as books of Jacques Vettier, Nitrox / Trimix and "Recycleurs".
    The book will be available in beginning ofJanuary.

    The book is both a state of the most widespread practices in France and in Europe, but also sharing experiences and anecdotes of cave divers .... !
    It is primarily intended to "junior" or "young" caves divers, but it will probably attract some "old" cave divers.

    It is the first cavediving manual in French. This book is not a reference, but just finding out what is happening to time, by some divers.

    You will find news on the book and on different dates to mark its launch on a blog specially created for the occasion:

    At last, I'll be present on The French Dive Show of Paris at beginning of January...!

    Best regards

    I've been posting back and forth with the OPer. There isn't an English version, at least not yet. He's gonna see about getting the book sold here in the US.

    Meanwhile, ya just GOT to check this out:


    The OPer is checking for me on shipping to the US. The poster is only 10 euros. If we work it out, does anyone want to go in with me on shipping? We can get several over here--Florida?--for pick up.

    Hey Squirrel Girl.

    That's a great pic. Can we get a caption and a photo credit?
    Also, The first book I read on cave diving was "The Cave Divers" by Robert Burgess soon followed by "Caverns Measureless to Man" by Sheck. Both were very inspirational to me and since I'm a reader I'm always looking for the next book to stoke my imagination. Congrats on the new book but I don't read French.............but, I do kiss that way.

    The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.

    Let me know what the total cost would be. Might be interested.
