Before you go in a cave, don't go alone. And, don't go without any guide. It's very, very important. It's dangerous. It's very important to visit the caves with a professional guide who knows the cave very well. If you go in a cave first, you have to take a note where you are going and who with. And, the other thing beside of it someone should know that you are inside the cave. And, you have to predict the time when you're coming back. Maybe six hours later. Because, if you don't come back in ten hours the rescue team can come and rescue you. You can take water. But, sometimes if you find the water in a cave you're lucky. Because, it's all the time it's drinkable. But, it's also good to bring some water. Because, you're always as you're taking your breath you can lose some water from some humidity from your body. And, it's bad because in that cave you cannot feel like you are thirsty. But, you have to drink in every two or three hours.
