Montulat is a former quarry near Limoges used for club training and exploration.
Montulat is a former quarry near Limoges that has been fitted out for club training and exploration dives. It is a cold freshwater site with a shallow route for training and a deeper basin for more advanced practice, so it works best as an inland quarry session rather than an open-water scenic dive. The appeal is the controlled training environment, the quarry structure, and the freshwater fauna.
