Guy de Lavaur de la Boisse was born in Saint-Laurent-les-Tours (France)
in 1903 (I don't know if he is still alive) He was one of the 10
greatest french early cavers, he dedicated most of his live exploring
the famous Gouffre de Padirac and his stramway where he dived lot of
sumps, he also dived in Fointaine des Charteaux in Cahors (france) and
in Fointaine Sanit-Georges the resurgence from Padirac. He was one of
the first cave divers in France.
