Firstly, thank you very much to my friend Thierry Baritaud. Without him this adventure would have been impossible, many thanks for his event management and never ending encouragement.
Many thanks also to M. Jean Claude Zacharie owner of the land and the cave, for letting us dive it, and for trusting our goal.
Many thanks to my girlfriend Rose Yates for her moral support through this adventure but also for having faith in me over the last 6 months despite my Goul du Pont DCI and the doubt that followed concerning my possibilities to come back to Deep Cave Explorations.
Thanks to my dog Tosca for showing her happiness to me each time I came back from the Abyss.
Thanks to Brigitte and Cécile for being here and for their superb photos.
Thanks to Vincent and Monica for their fantastic "confits", "pâtés", "boudins" and others French wines (post dive) …
