Cahors is a inland town in the Lot department, not a coastal diving destination. It sits at about 120 meters above sea level and is surrounded by countryside and rivers. There’s no local scuba diving infrastructure. For divers, Cahors serves as a gateway to closer freshwater or quarry dives in the wider region or as a base when exploring southwestern France, but any diving would require a day trip to nearby centers or locations with appropriate access. If you’re visiting, you’d likely focus on culture, cuisine, and the scenic town center rather than on local dive activities.
