Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.
The dive
The water is about 13 °C. The deep gallery has clay, and visibility drops to about 20 cm when it is stirred up. The shallow part is also used for training dives (about -30 m).
Profile and sections
The water is about 13 °C. The deep gallery has clay, and visibility drops to about 20 cm when it is stirred up. The shallow part is also used for training dives (about -30 m).
The Goul du Pont is the larger of the two Gouls de Tourne. Stones keep narrowing the entrance; it was cleared in 2002 and in 2021 (club work weekend). No connection with the Tannerie has been found yet.
- Depth and profile
- Entrance: boulder slope with a restriction at -12 m · rapid descent to -120 m with short galleries at -18, -80 and -110 m; chicanes between -70 and -78 m · deep gallery: -140 m at 380 m, -153 m at 450 m (2003), -192 m (2013–2014) · max -204 m, length 1,222 m (CDS07 2021)
- Configuration
- Backmount. Mind the entrance restriction at -12 m and the chicanes at -70/-78 m (awkward when heavily equipped, per Meniscus). Deep section only with trimix, preferably CCR.
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Mostly vertical; almost no horizontal passage at reachable depth. No gain.
Who can dive where
- At least Full cave
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 204 m (trimix or deco may be needed)
- Experienced divers only
This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.
How to get there
Same park as the Tannerie (Vallon de Tourne, Bourg-Saint-Andéol), about 80–100 m away; entry in the large spring basin. Valley closed to cars by bollards (mairie/technical services).
