Centro Studi Ipogei Specus

The Gruppo Speleologico Centro Studi Ipogei Specusis based in Cagliari and has been studying the karst environment of the Sardinian region since 1993.

The statute involving members promotes different aspects that can affect the practice of speleology and in which direction this science can focus.

The G.S. is committed, first of all, to the protection of environmental heritage, obviously with a particular interest in its field of study, through various activities:

• introduction courses to speleological practice for beginners, organized directly by the group and aimed at transmitting the fundamentals of safety and progression in the cave, but which can also involve distinct environments such as type cavities artificial-urban or with the presence of courses and aquatic basins such as canyoning courses,

• Commitment to research and study of the speleological/archaeological aspect of the explored areas,

• active participation in events and projects of different types in the cultural and tourist promotion fields and cultural events,

• realization of guided tours in the streets of greatest interest from a speleological and archaeological point of view.

Ourfirst level Karst Speleology course is organized into five exciting weeks to spend with us to learn the progression techniques in the cave, discover how the underground environments were formed, observe closely this particular habitat which is home to numerous wildlife species and...much more!

All this in total safety and constantly supported by instructors recognized by the Italian Speleological Society.
