The origin of the databases found on these pages is explained more thoroughly on the Provenance page. They are presented here
as an aid to researchers and cavers with the hope, and expectation, that this information will not be used in a fashion that will result
in exploitation of, or damage to, the cave systems listed on this site.
Those interested in these databases will already be aware of the book, Jamaica Underground, by Alan G. Fincham. Be advised that the lists found on this website are a poor substitute for Mr. Fincham's important work.
Cavers with a serious interest in Jamaica should consider obtaining this book at the first opportunity.
Two databases will be found below. The first is the entire Jamaican Cave Register with additions marked **. The second consists of the additions only and is based on GPS positions obtained during explorations of the systems.
At the time of this writing, October 20, 2003, some recently explored, and named, caves and sinkholes remain to be added.
