Specialties
After years of helping National Geographic, the Discovery Channel and other recognized networks make pictures and films in caves, Cave Now, Inc was formed to provide similar adventures to the public.
As life long cavers we have the expertise, experience and gear needed to ‘wow’ you underground in the Southeast, which is a hotbed of caving. Our trips are raw adventures. Level I trips are for most persons, and Level II are for fit persons under 225lbs. Most trips are about 3 hours of underground exploration.
We offer single day adventures as well as multi-day expeditions. Soon we will expand to offer trips to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Mexico and other places internationally.

History
Established in 2011.
Cave Now, Inc was started by cavers. With a passion for exploring the underground caving we consider caving our lifestyle — it guides our business philosophy, allows us to explore completely new places on the Earth and it gives us much satisfaction that we don’t find elsewhere.
Cavers distinguish ourselves from spelunkers. Cavers are properly equipped, educated, trained and experienced. Cave Now’s members have an average of over 13 years of caving. A spelunker, in contrast, is poorly equipped, not trained and uneducated. Spelunkers are a liability, and we have a saying that goes ‘cavers rescue spelunkers’.
Caving isn’t the hardcore, dangerous hobby that it is made out to be. Day in and day out the most dangerous thing that we do is drive a car. Over the course of over 3,000 trips we’ve had a single injury — a jammed finger — and that was actually outside the cave while a client was walking back to the car. Feel safe with Cave Now, Inc.
