Woot, almost 600ft, solo mCCR, with one scooter! Oi vey. Strange tube she(?) was diving in. I've heard that's a typical French cave, now I know what they mean :)

Yeah- the French have a bad rep on the internets, but in real life, they do some crazy-ass stuff.

Was that camera mounted on the scoot using duct tape?

Man that's nuts, I was feeling a little chlostrophobic just watching it. I did find it interesting that there was no life down there.

Hood off to the photographer and those of you who do that.

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.

Caves have very little life in them, there's just not much to eat.
