The Lot is a specialist overhead destination, not a conventional open-water resort. The Emergence du Ressel near Marcilhac-sur-Cele is the signature system, while Cabouy, Saint-Sauveur, Marchepied, Font del Truffe, and Landenouze give cave-qualified teams and students very different route, configuration, and hydrology problems. Gramat's The Cave To Be and the wider local filling network support instruction, rentals, air, nitrox, trimix, CCR logistics, and repairs. Water remains about 12°C to 14°C, so drysuits and disciplined thermal planning are normal. Visibility may exceed 20 m, yet rain, flood response, river mixing, and silt can turn a planned dive into a no-go. Independent penetration requires cave-specific certification, redundancy, and a route within the team's exact training and experience.
The region's benchmark cave begins beside the Cele and opens into major limestone passages used for training and advanced exploration.
A major entrance to the Ouysse system near Rocamadour, connected to an explored network exceeding {{ 6 | distance:km }}.
A classic clearwater resurgence in the Gramat cluster that appears regularly in local training itineraries.
Checkliste für Anbieter
Book instruction, guiding, cylinders, specialty gases, sorb, and accommodation before travel. Send the operator certification level, recent cave experience, configuration, gas requirements, medical-document status, and insurance details. Check local rainfall and river data every morning, then obtain a site-specific briefing. Popular caves can be busy during spring and autumn training blocks, so start early, park only in approved places, keep access routes clear, and accept site changes without pressure to salvage the schedule.
