Equipment Hire

Cavers organizing their own sessions can hire a full range of equipment to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience underground. Our hire service provides personal gear from head to toe, covering all essential items needed for both dry and wet caving. For beginners or those planning shorter trips, the Basic Set includes a helmet, light, and caver’s belt, ideal for simple exploration. For more extensive dry cave adventures, the Dry Cave Set adds an oversuit, kneepads, and Wellington boots, providing additional comfort and protection. For those tackling wet or more challenging caves, the Wet Cave Set offers a complete outfit including a helmet, light, belt, oversuit, fleece undersuit, kneepads, neoprene socks, and Wellington boots, ensuring warmth and safety in cold and wet conditions.

Booking is simple with three standard options available online, and alternative arrangements can be made using the Kit Hire Booking Form or by contacting the booking hotline for short notice requests. Equipment is hired per set, per day, allowing flexibility for your own schedule and exploration plans. This service is perfect for independent cavers, youth groups, or families wishing to organize their own adventure while having access to high quality, fully equipped caving gear. By providing all necessary items, participants can focus on the adventure and enjoy the thrill of caving safely, knowing they are properly equipped for any cave environment.
