European Cave Country
In the southwest of France, the cities of Cahors, Gourdon, Figeac and Gramat ‘delimit’ the department Lot. This land of lush green forests and beautiful medieval heritage consisting of castles, medieval towns, water mills and ancient buildings is considered to be the Mecca of European cave diving. The Lot department is crossed by the rivers Celé, Lot and Dordogne and paradoxically being so far from the sea, is one of the top dive spots in Europe. The three rivershave over the centuries eroded the limestone, resulting in a network of caves, springs and siphons that run for kilometers underground. The Lot was also the venue of an international documentation project with people from seven different nationalities. The motivation for participating is explained here through the eyes of Marcus, a Norwegian cave diver and passionate explorer.
