    English as a Second language unable to make out what some of these sites are about

    Found this

    But it's in Fr/DE/IT

    if ( $clue == 'none' ) { read ( sig & avatar rules | forum rules ) && search ( forums | google ) }
    if ( $answer == 0 ) { post->question }

    Here is the link to the Plongeesout web site http://www.plongeesout.com/sites/monde/monde.htm There are a few Swiss caves listed.

    If you stick the root URL into Google the translation is pretty good.

    Never did anything in Switzerland myself. Just France and Italy.

    Cheers!!

    What about Spain ?

    Tommy:

    Rebreathers are something that we have to go to in order to dive the way we want to dive. They are not something we go to for any other reason.

    I have never been to Spain.

    Technically DOT are not valid in Europe (don't know the Swiss rules). I really don't remember being turned down for fills on the the few DOT tanks we had in France. CE marked Luxfer cylinders were very expensive. The steel cylinders cost less than ali.

    I found the logistic of filling and gear transportation to be very difficult. One reason we had a compressor in our apartment. The cost of gas is high. Both for the car and the tanks. I really wanted a closed circuit rebreather when living in France. As it would have saved a bunch of time, hassle and money compared to diving open circuit.

    Make sure you have a good drysuit. The water is very chilly.

    Cheers!!

    You have rock boots? Turbo soles were about 100% junk for most of the cave dives I did.

    You many need to go hiking or rock climbing in the middle of your cave dive.

    Cheers!!
