D-Day in France (once again...)
Source de Saint Sauveur



 
 
The crack Panzer division acting under orders of Ubergruppenfuhrer Irvine from his remote headquarters in Florida, plan their invasion of Saint Sauveur resurgence under the leadership of Field Marshall John "Red Baron" Grogan. Here they get ready to launch their Blitzkrieg.
Later they retreated in defeat. Despite being armed with four scooters, sixteen bottles and superior training, failed to get through the entrance. On the other hand, President and co-founder of DIS, Frederic "Human Aquazepp" Pinna, equipped with only two bottles, an old stab jacket and some climbing gear, managed to easily enter the cave. It was last reported that Field Marshall Grogan was awaiting court martial.
A handful of British Tommies, undernourished and on their last packet of fags, await evacuation. It was rumoured they swapped most of their dive kit for favours from local peasant girls. The local peasant girls drew the line at the one on the left as he looked too Albanian.
A lone diver, also a president of DIS, goes to make a reconnaissance of the resurgence entrance. Despite half drowning himself, he made it through the cave mouth and he returned safely. He was later called as a witness for the prosecution at the Panzer Division's courts martial.
A moment of panic as Fred drops his cigartette inside Jerome's drysuit.
On hearing that the local peasant girls like there men to be chunky, Jerome hurries to make some cosmetic improvements...
... what peasant girl could now resist?
A Swiss cave diving observer casts a neutral eye over the proceedings. Note the interesting Swiss custom of storing your Toblerone down your shorts for easy access.
Jerome is helped to get ready by a President of DIS. Another President of DIS can be seen drowning in the background.
Setting off for the cave mouth.
The surface supplied oxygen is stored well out of the way of Fred's cigarettes.
Jerome returns alone to find his support crew have deserted him for the Swiss National Female Cave Diving Team.
Afterwards, trying to work out why we did not die. Obviously the consumption of red wine means that we have developed an advanced physiological system.
As we work, news of the verdict of the Panzer Division's court martial comes in over the internet.
