Day #1

A wonderful landscape compensates for the long drive.

The tough ones enjoyed the nice weather and slept outside, warmed up by the morning sunshine.

Completely assembled Gavin scooter on the way down to the pool. This time the cable car was built up in less than two hours.

Mara (left) and Jiles at the pool. The space was limited as usual and equipment like Gavin scooters, stages and sets of doubles were "parked" in the water.

Jiles at the overflow from the cave pool. Notice the small, lovely rivulet and the crystal clear water in the upper left corner. In front of Jiles is the table for Ralph's RB80.

Brus wearing fisherman trousers, a useful tool for preparation in the water.

Ralph prepared his RB80 for a survey dive.

A heavily loaded support diver with the deco stages from Ralph and Brus.

The support divers brought stages and Gavin scooters into the cave.

Jiles after the two stage dive with his brother Gertjan in the deep part. All equipment was left in the pool for the next day.

A Little rain in the evening can't stop one of our traditional BBQs at the Gourneyras.

Later, Jiles and Gertjan told the rest of the team about their dive around the campfire. It was raining, but nobody could foresee what would happen during the night...
