Caving Holidays for newcomers/European

[cap n chris]

Does anyone know of any organisations/companies that offer novice-friendly overseas caving experiences (not necessarily catering/accommodation as that can be arranged independently if needed)?

Bottlebank, Hassle Free and Pringle/Dingle Tours have excellent reputations?

I know a bloke who has apparently organised some cool trips to some lava tubes.

Has anyone stayed at Speleocamp Laze in the last year or so? How's it, nowadays?

Les,

Bottlebank Tours keeps extensive records and whilst we would welcome you as a guest sadly you have never taken up the offer. I trust therefore your comment refers to one of the other two, perhaps less reputable travel agencies.

I've always felt that travelling on a swivel chair in the back of a blacked out van is less than ideal.

Hi Tony,
The tour in question was with a Mr Pringle, the site that we visited was called Snottite Cave...
