Visiting experts impressed with Bermuda's caves
Compared with show caves around the world the Crystal and Fantasy Caves in Bailey's Bay may be at the small end of the scale but that hasn't stopped experts from around the globe who viewed the Island's underground treasures from speaking highly of what they saw.
And nor has the fact that the Island is the smallest of the 28 member states in the International Show Caves Association from electing David Summers the new president of the organisation after Bermuda became the first non-European venue to host the Association's four-yearly congress.
It is a ringing endorsement for Bermuda and the owners and operators of the Crystal Caves that the Island is now held in such high esteem by the show caving community of the world.
In the coming months and years it may pay further dividends for the Island as Bermuda's name is given a higher profile at international events due to Mr. Summers elevated position with the ISCA and the possibility of link-ups and twinnings with show cave attractions in other parts of the world.
