The dive
A remote spot with clear turquoise water and few visitors. The entrance is at -8 m in the middle of a large pool.
Profile and sections
A remote spot with clear turquoise water and few visitors. The entrance is at -8 m in the middle of a large pool. A wide, steep slope of pebbles and sand (passage ~2×5 m) drops to -44 m at 100 m; then you have to squeeze through a restriction to -52 m, 20 m further. A short, deep dive.
Another source says divers have passed -52 m without finding the bottom. A trip report calls the gravel in the deep part unstable and found it too tight beyond ~-36 m — so the way through may change.

How to get there
Commune of Saint-Jean-de-Laur (Lot), on the Causse de Limogne. From Salvagnac-Cajarc (1 km from Cajarc) take the D146 towards Sainte-Claire-de-Margue; after 2.5 km turn right at the junction (sign Gouffre de Lantouy), 200 m to a limestone quarry (sign). The spring lies 70 m below, among the trees; the outflow stream runs ~2 km to the Lot.
