Knowledge base Caving / Potholing
Specific information regarding caving and the selection and use of caving equipment is included here.
Caving, exploring caves and caverns can be a fun exciting hobby and valuable for scientific discoveries. However, the hidden world of caves can be as dangerous as it is fascinating and even the most experienced cavers can easily get injured or get lost in a cave. When something goes wrong underground you are in a survival situation before you know it. See what you need to safely descend into a cave under CanyonZone Caving (Basic) Equipment.
Many items that you need for caving can also be used for canyoning. If desired, also see the knowledge bases General canyoning and caving equipment and Canyoning.
Where applicable, each article contains links to relevant pages/articles on the CanyonZone website.
If desired, also see FAQ or report to us what information you are missing.
