I just finished up a project I've been working on for quite some time now tracking 'Plongeur' who is a diver of the Catacombs. Spurred by a desire to see what was at the end of each gallerie in the Catacombs he learn how to scuba dive and has been diving and mapping the inundated galleries of the catacombs for decades. I was very honored to be able to accompany him on one of his trips and would live to present to you now the results. Hope you enjoy it.

I had no idea about the flooded sections of the catacombs. This is very relevant to my interests and I'll have to take a closer look at the video this evening.

There are a lot of them. The parts where he goes in this video, as evident by the table built by cataphiles, shows that it is a new thing, over the past few years. But there are deeper ones, Plongeur dived the 13th and mapped the galleries for the IGC, of which they had no idea about before he went there.
Never knew about these underwater sections... that is just awesome! I look forward to checking out this video later.
