Throughout this website, I will emphasize three critical canyoneering rules that every participant should adhere to without exception. These rules are intended to ensure your safety, along with that of your fellow adventurers, and to make sure that you have a fantastic time. The order in which these rules are prioritized is essential, and they must be followed in the exact order presented.

​

First and foremost, your safety should be the top priority when canyoneering. Every decision made during your adventure should take into account the safety of everyone in the group. It is essential to have the appropriate canyoneering gear to keep you safe, and you should be familiar with how to use it correctly. Before descending your first canyon, make sure you and your party develop the appropriate canyoneering skills. Doing so will aid in your group's safety and increase your chances of success.

​

If you are new to canyoneering, I strongly advise you to go with someone who has experience. Do not attempt to go by yourself. Even seasoned canyoneers do not encourage or go on solo-canyoneering adventures. Going with someone who has experience will ensure that you learn from the best and are equipped with the necessary skills to handle unexpected situations.

​

Another crucial part of your safety when canyoneering is watching the weather. This aspect is explored in-depth in Section 4 of this website. It is important to remember that canyons are shaped by water, which can create dangerous conditions. When it rains, water collects in the desert and seeks out the lowest point, which is the watercourse. The canyons that you will be treading through vary in size and depth, and all the water flows somewhere. It is crucial to take these factors into account and plan your adventure accordingly.
