Émergence de Meyraguet (TILOS / no diving)
All diving has been banned here since two Swiss divers died in November 2003. The spring lies on the bank of the river near Meyraguet (Lacave); its first sump is only 50 m long and 5 m deep, but it ends in an air bell whose air was measured at about 8% oxygen, the likely cause of the accident.
