| Good report, glad you enjoyed. It's an absolutely brilliant place and sounds like a good course, it sounds like a laugh rather than a mission. Welcome to French cave diving!!! You're lucky you missed out on the walk to Poumayssen, it's 900m underground but the walk feels a lot longer on the surface (never timed it though, my liberal 20min estimate last year in the heat caused the words "f**k this, you twat" to get uttered). It's possible to drive down from the main road to Poumayssen in a 4x4, worth it because it was the longest my passenger ever shut up for I've just done my 10th year of diving there and I'm still not bored, it's great. As is the rest of France. Cheers, Stuart

| Terrific report John, sounds like you have had some very good dives, and excellent training thrown in as well :-) Were there meant to be others on the course who didn't make it, or was it always going to be one on one-------a training format where there is no hiding at the back!! :-) Cheers, Malcolm. |
