Caving Techniques

Caving techniques involve specific skills and methods used to navigate and explore underground caves safely. This includes controlled breathing, proper use of equipment like helmets, headlamps, ropes, and harnesses, and techniques for climbing, sliding, or squeezing through narrow passages. Cavers also learn to read cave maps, assess risks, and communicate effectively with their team. Safety procedures, such as anchoring ropes and monitoring oxygen levels, are vital. Proper technique ensures stability, reduces injury risk, and allows for efficient exploration of complex, often unpredictable underground environments.
