I am in it here and before that in Nelson and before that again was in cave SAR in Nelson for over 10 years (had to give that one up and caving when I had a life changing injury).
In Nelson they have a big membership and very structured training as well as quite a lot of callouts but with the big membership you don't have to go out often.
Here in Hanmer we have a small membership and laid back training but its still taken very seriously.
Go for it, it is fun and great to be able to give back to your community using existing skills
