The dive
There is an air bell above a rift around 100 m. The water is about 13 °C (measured in the Goul du Pont).
Profile and sections
There is an air bell above a rift around 100 m. The water is about 13 °C (measured in the Goul du Pont).
The Tannerie is the smaller of the two Gouls de Tourne (vauclusian springs, ~80–100 m from the Goul du Pont) and a drinking-water resource of the town. It is a classic deep exploration site: -209 m (Redoutey 2004), -220 m (Stanton 2008), -240 m (Meniscus 2014), -246 m (2023). No connection with the Goul du Pont has been found yet.
- Depth and profile
- First ~700 m at -5 to -11 m: 0–100 m passage 0.8 × 3 m, 100–500 m 1 × 5 m, 500–700 m about 3 m² · then a stepped shaft (45 m drop by 804 m), -98 m at 926 m, then -113, -165 and -200 m · max -246 m (2023) · 1,191 m + Galerie Brazey 1,426 m (CDS07)
- Configuration
- All configurations. First 100 m low (0.8 m) with a restriction around 100 m (widened in 2021): sidemount is most comfortable there. Beyond the shaft lip only with trimix, preferably CCR.
- DPV: DPV possible
- Explorers scooter the 700 m shallow passage (e.g. with two Seacraft Ghosts). The first 100 m are only about 0.8 m high with a restriction: go carefully or tow there. Worth it if you plan to reach the shafts.
Who can dive where
- At least Full cave
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 246 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
In the Vallon de Tourne park in Bourg-Saint-Andéol (signs 'lavoir antique', 'Dieu Mithra' or 'Gouls de Tourne'). The valley is closed to cars by bollards; ask the mairie/technical services to drive in. Entry straight from the spring pool.
