We're a Bay Area organization dedicated to the exploration, study, and preservation of caves and cave-related phenomena.
Whether you're brand new or have been caving for years, there's a cave for you. We regularly organize trips throughout Northern California (and beyond) for every skill level, as well as vertical practices, skill workshops, and more!
The Diablo Grotto is a chapter of the National Speleological Society (NSS) and part of the Western Region
