Why we formed the Cave exploration society

The CES was formed in June 2019, as a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation, to help cavers explore and research what lies beneath.

Goals:

Lead worthy expeditions around the world

Expedition Leaders: John Fioroni and Tom Kinsky
Deep cave exploration in Wyoming. Expedition Leader: Adam Weaver
Batman Provence, Turkey. Expedition Leader: Ender Usuloglu

Help our members with their expeditions and research
If you are a member of The Cave Exploration Society Inc. you have access to expeditions, equipment for borrowing, discounted equipment for sale, and a community of cavers.

Morca Cave, Turkey. Expedition led by ASPEG
The CES joins ASPEG and an international effort to find Turkey’s deepest cave. In 2018, Morca was surveyed to a depth of 3,028 feet (919 meters). 2019’s expedition will explore Morca even deeper, and search for other deep caves. The CES will provide rope and maillons for the 2019 expedition.
Do you have an expedition that you need help with?

Conduct and promote research
Great research can and should be conducted by cavers.
