Switzerland
Anyone got any info on Cave Diving in Switzerland.
Found a couple sites, but seeing how my first language = Texan and
English as a Second language unable to make out what some of these sites are about
Found this
the world of SWISS CAVE DIVING
http://www.swiss-cave-diving.ch/index.html
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 ?Originally Posted by caverkevin
The shoals are there still, the winds howl loud, the rain beats down, the waves burst strong. Some night, in the chill darkness, someone will make a mistake: The sea will show him no mercy. John T. Cunningham
Might be moving there in the next couple months for a 2 year relocation.
Need new buddies now, unless TJ and Peter are going to fly over every weekend

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.

hi Tommy,
you can contact Beat from swiss-cave-diving
--> btmueller@bluewin.ch
he will help you. Tell him I sent you.
PS If you need help in translating, let me know
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.
