Clubs--Caving

If you’re looking for information on caving societies or clubs, look under this Yellow Pages® heading.  A caving club is a group, organisation or society formed of individuals interested in cave exploration. Cavers might converse and study various ‘un-charted’ caves, explored caves, etc.  Cave clubs might also offer members reduced pricing on equipment, gear, supplies, etc. Before joining a caving club, makes sure they are compliant with the necessary safety standards, as well as the required standards for exploration and conservation.

Caving clubs are usually facilitated by experienced individuals with considerable experience in caving.  Caving clubs might include individuals who have sought caving as their profession, or simply those who have discovered it as a hobby.  Cavers might explore a variety of different terrains, each depending on the caver’s experience and physical ability.  For example, some caves might require simple walking, with very little physical endurance required.  Others, however, might be a bit more strenuous, to include crawling or very small passageways, underwater exploration, etc.

Clubs might offer caving expeditions, where the entire club will meet at a certain cave, and explore the cave as a group.  This brings a wealth of knowledge in discovering various elements of the cave, to include un-discovered caves, certain rock formations, etc.  Cavers might spend just a few hours in the cave, or might camp out for several days.  Many caving clubs are hosted by universities to help aid research and education.  Geologists are also common cavers, as they are constantly searching for information and knowledge of various forms of rocks, gems, etc.
