The dive

Trou du Diable is one of the five sites in the UBS rules for cave-diving sites. Elsewhere the UBS calls it a cave, but in the rules it is listed with the quarries.

The UBS warns that the ceiling tends to shed sizeable pieces of rock.
Profile and sections

Trou du Diable is one of the five sites in the UBS rules for cave-diving sites. Elsewhere the UBS calls it a cave, but in the rules it is listed with the quarries.

Practical: leisure dives only: no commercial activity, courses or drills. Leave the sediment and the permanent lines alone. Night dives and noise are discouraged because of the neighbours.

Depth and profile
Depth, length and layout not published
Configuration
UBS rules: independent cylinders (sidemount, doubles with the isolator closed, or two unconnected cylinders of equal size), each with its own regulator and SPG. CCR: at least one bailout with a backup inflator and SPG. Helmet, three lights and redundant buoyancy (drysuit or double wing) are mandatory.
DPV: unknown
No data on scooter use or passage size.

Flooded mine or quarryPermission needed

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

Only through the UBS: members, their guests or members of an organisation authorised by the UBS. You need a key (via your club, a member of the Commission Plongée Souterraine or the UBS office in Namur). Park on the railway side, on the embankment across the road.
