Hiking

We had no idea what to expect here! Henri Cosquer, a retired professional diver, explored the coast of the Calanques in his pension. In 1985, he discovered a cave entrance 37m below sea level, where he came into a large hall after a 116m long underwater passage rising upwards. He visited this cave again and again with diving friends until on July 9, 1991, his diving lamp shone on a negative imprint of a hand with a red border. The absolutely unexpected had happened! A "Lascaux under the sea" had been discovered!
