Cabouy

Cabouy is an advanced cave diving site in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France, part of the extensive karst system that riddles the limestone plateaus of the Pyrenean foothills. The siphon entrance leads to submerged galleries that challenge even experienced cave divers with their length and technical demands. The pristine groundwater offers remarkable clarity, allowing divers to appreciate the delicate geological formations that decorate the passage walls. Clay deposits on the floor can easily reduce visibility if disturbed, demanding excellent buoyancy control. Cabouy represents the kind of serious cave diving that has made the French Pyrenees a pilgrimage destination for the international speleological diving community.
