It's quite an interesting topic. I've never been caving myself, but I have been wanting to try it. Has anyone here gone "caving" in Southern California?

That's one of the reasons I don't have more jumps. We have one underwater cave system (little known) in coastal South Carolina. Also a half and half near Santee. In Eleuthera, Bahamas there are both types of caves. Many of the underwater caves have stalagmites/stalagites, which is rare. Some have sharks that can remain at rest and allow current to flow over their gills, also rare. (I have some stories on those!!!) There are some fantastic wild and dry caves near Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera, Bahamas. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
