The SUI does not currently offer specific training in the following skills, we recommend you develop these skills through a caving club. SUI Qualified Trainers may be available at certain times of the year to provide specific guidance on some aspects of personal caving skills to your club. This is highly dependent on the training schedule and the availability of qualified instructors.
