The Belgian Union of Speleology (UBS)
Was founded on the 24th of November 1984 as a non-profit organization in the field of speleology. Today the union expand their activities apart from speleology to climbing, underground diving and canyoning, uniting clubs from the Walloon region and the Brussels-Capital region.
Main target of UBS is to defend caving, to protect the environment and the places where it is practiced in Belgium. However, canyoning is still gaining in popularity therefore UBS has established a commission to promote the practice of canyoning according to the rules of the French Canyon School (EFC). The commission’s objectives are tailor-made programs to expand technical knowledge of canyon progression, practiced with safety in various canyons in Europe. The Belgian Union of Speleology (UBS) is an official member of the Fédération Internationale de Canyonisme (FIC).
