CAVE DIVING CLASSES in the LOT department (France): Photos


	Arrived in the Lot: the daily frenzy is substituted with animal patience		Fields of poppies

	Return to the Middle Ages: Calvignac is one of the characteristic villages of the Lot		The Devil’s Castle at Cabreret

	St.Cirq Lapopie: picturesque village in the outskirts of Cabreret		From above at St.Cirq Lapopie the valley of the Lot is dominated

	Characteristic residences of the region		Rocamadour: one of the most visited touristic places of France

	Rocamadour: the houses are built on the cliff		Rocamadour by night

	Rapacious in flight in the sky of Rocamadour		Vultures at take-off from the Rocher des Aigles at Rocamadour

	Vulture in attack		Rocher des Aigles: daily presentation of different predator bird shows in free flight. The assignment is sensitization, the protection of the species and the conservation of the natural habitat

	Rocher des Aigles: the show includes various parrots		Rocher des Aigles: an eagle

	Rocher des Aigles: the snow owl		The Camping site at Marcilhac Sur Célé is where we stay during the cave diving classes

	The area with the tents of the students. In the camping area trailers or bungalows can be rented		In the camping site ducks and geese are lodged too

	In the periods of the cave diving classes the camp site usually is almost empty. Therefore we have a vast area for practicing at disposition: length marking of the line		With the lenght marking of the line I catch two flies with one clap: for the whole season I will have the reels ready for the explorations and the students will become familiar with the preparation of those

	Ready for an act of vandalism...?!?! (see the following picture!!)		At times it is necessary to modify the equipments. (Naturally with the consent of the owner)

	The exercises at the dry are many. The Demelage, for example stimulates the sadistic phantasy of various students		The cavalry has gone as well as the medioeval; even if we find ourselves in a medioeval atmosphere... nobody is saved

	Comments among students		At times the exercise comes out well. Each one is amused in his/her way: there is someone who jumps around on one foot

	Someone is kneeing because he hopes to resolve the problem with more comfort		Someone simulates "Bruce Lee" positions

	Someone is asked what is happening while another one is amused		Briefing before the dive in the Ressel Spring
