Exploring Fishy Hole Cave is not a casual outing—it requires preparation and expertise. Here’s what you need to know:
Team Up with Experts: Its depth, river, and remote setting make it a technical challenge best tackled with experienced cavers who know the ropes (literally and figuratively).
Plan Ahead: Tell someone your itinerary and expected return time, as cell service is unreliable in such remote areas.
Gear Up: Bring helmets, headlamps, ropes, waterproof clothing, sturdy boots, and a first aid kit. The cave’s wet, rocky environment demands top-notch equipment.
Tread Lightly: Caves are fragile ecosystems—avoid disturbing formations or wildlife and leave no trace.
Getting there is an adventure in itself. The Comox Valley’s remote terrain likely requires navigating deactivated logging roads or overgrown trails.
