Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (the FFS plongeesout.ffspeleo.fr site pages and accident list to 2000, Grottomap/Grottocenter, Wikipedia, Nant municipality and Tourisme Aveyron, FFESSM Occitanie Pyrénées Méditerranée, Made in Perpignan, CSLG Besançon, Medsubhyp, CDS 30 and CDS 34, dive-centre and dive-shop websites, the Plongeur.com forum; Sept 2026). Pins from Grottomap, OpenStreetMap, plongeesout GPS or converted from Lambert III (may be 50–200 m off); ~ = estimate (drive times too). Much of the site data is old (1980–2007). Rules change — check locally.
