Looking for caver's in SouthWest England and Wales - June 2025

[Joris]

Hello caver's
I'm not new to caving, however new to caving and cave diving in the UK.
Currently in SouthWest Engeland and going to South of Wales this week and then traveling North.

I have been caving and cave diving in Belgium, France, Greece ...... however never before in the UK.
Would like to meet other cavers in coming weeks and explore some cave's or mines in the UK, I have my diving and caving gear with me.

( for example Porth Yr Ogof or Dinas Silica Mine, open for other options)

Cheers, Joris from the Netherlands

Hi Joris,
The Cave Diving Group annual training camp is on Mendip next weekend. If you're nearby there will be quite a few Cave divers about. I can't make any promises, but we'd probably be able to find something you could join in with if you let us know ASAP, but it's going to be specific training sessions, not tourist diving.

Thanks Pete, I have send you a direct message

Nice to meet you @Joris. Hope you enjoyed the digging today and a bit of local culture at The Hunters last night.

Good luck with the rest of your UK trip.
