So. I have explored various caves without the use of specialized equipment (both above and below water). I have zero knowledge of caving as a more serious pastime.
Here's the deal: I want to explore a cave in northeast India that opens with a 97m (roughly 320 ft.) vertical descent. Where to start (in terms of learning about appropriate equipment)? Mock me all you want if this sounds silly - I do "silly" things quite regularly. Thanks!
Ah yes - the cave is Krem Shrieh. Cursory info. here: http://megtourism.gov.in/caves.html
