An extraordinary trip through the underground world can be enjoyed by the prepared and responsible caver. However, due to its alien environment, caves can be very dangerous to the inexperienced or unprepared visitor. Caving requires the following rules to be followed. Some local recreation departments offer beginning caving trips and training. Ask permission before you go to a cave.
Most caves are on private land, ask the landowner, or managing agency for permission first.
If they say 'no', leave. Tell someone where you are going and when you should return. Never cave alone. Recommended group size is three people. Three sources of light, including a headlamp attached to a helmet.
