Source du Sorgues....

Sorgues
With the weather ruining most of the local sites, we headed up to Aveyron to dive a cave which is usually in very good condition.


The Sorgues is the resurgence for the Mas Raynal cave some 4km away.
It usually has inviting, blue water and today was no exception.
Actually, it was a little milkier than normal...but Rick, Rich, Ash and myself had a pleasant dive nonetheless. Such a shame this cave is so short at only 200 or so metres long.
On our way home, we stuck our heads into the Rodel to inspect the water for a future dive. It looked pretty undamaged by the recent flooding and we kept it in our pocket for another day.
