NEW INSTRUCTIONAL BOOK NOW AVAILABLE

I have also produced a very good guide for beginning to intermediate cavers that
covers all of this material in much greater detail than a website could. The
book can be found by following this link or by clicking the book cover below.

Clicking on the image will take you to a commercial link where you can preview
and purchase the book.


WHAT IS CAVE EXPLORING?

Cave exploring (also known as caving or spelunking) is the art of safely moving
through a natural cave to a destination and returning to the surface without
hurting yourself or the cave. There is no way to learn how to explore caves
without getting out of the house and getting underground, but you can learn
where to go, who to contact, and what skills you need. That is the purpose of
this site.

This website contains areas for those just getting started in caving, students
wanting to learn more about caves, and teachers who want to integrate
cave-related information into their curriculum. In some cases the information is
located on this site, and in others, I have linked to other websites that have
good information. I have also provided links to informative videos that can
provide more visual information. These videos have been personally vetted to
make sure there isn’t any information that may show unsafe practices or would
harm cave resources.

The one thing you will not find on this site is locations of undeveloped caves;
this is to protect them from vandalism and protect people from getting hurt.

Please explore this site and let me know in the comments section if there are
additional resources or features you would like to see on this site. For now, I
will leave you with the basic rules of caving:

 The Three Basic Rules of Cave Exploring

Take Nothing but Pictures – leave everything the way you found it so others can
appreciate the cave the same way you did.

 Leave Nothing but Footprints  – Minimize your impact to the cave; do not leave
crumbs, trash, and paint in the cave. Even minimize the impacts of your
footprints; stick to established trails and be careful to step where those
before you have already stepped.

 Kill Nothing but Time – You are the visitor to the cave so leave the natural
inhabitants alone.
