Homage to cave diver Eric Establie

Last weekend a ceremony was held in Labastide de Virac (France) for Eric Establie.

Friends, family and rescue workers from the Speleo Secours paid their last tribute to this great cave diver, who got trapped in the Dragonnière de Gaud and was found dead at the end of a dramatic rescue operation.

Une cérémonie a eu lieu hier en présence de sa veuve et de son fils.

A stele was erected on the place where more then 400 volunteers from multiple rescue organisations and countries camped in an attempt to locate and rescue him.
