Best for advanced divers, 20-47m, boat entry, moderate current.
Cunhac is a technical freshwater cave dive located near Marcilhac-sur-Célé, France. This site is strictly for advanced divers, featuring a challenging overhead environment that reaches depths between 20 and 47 metres. Divers must navigate moderate currents and limited visibility, which typically ranges from 5 to 6 metres. Due to the overhead nature of the cave and the potential for entanglement, precise buoyancy control and redundant lighting are essential. Water temperatures can drop to 8°C during winter months. Access to this site requires a boat. Given the depth and the technical nature of the cave, thorough gas management and a solid navigation plan are required for every dive.
