Hey everyone,

I am new to the caving scene.

I just relocated to the area a few months ago from florida. While I lived in florida I enjoyed diving and was planning on getting my cave diving cert when I moved to the DC area.

I'm planning on heading to the next DC Grotto meeting in October so that I can hopefully get more involved.

Welcome! I live in the outer fringes of the DC metro area. But I hardly ever go dry caving anymore. I just got back from an awesome 4 days cave diving in Florida. There's lots of dry cavers in the area.
:patriotic:

Oh, the usual suspects. Devil's Eye, Peacock Springs, Madison Blue Spring, Cow Spring. I stayed in High Springs and Luraville.
