It depends on their speciality!

1) Normal caving equipment & clothing - you can't study a cave or its contents unless you can negotiate it safely & properly. Most speleologists are either professional natural-scientists using their hobby of caving, or amateur cavers with a genuine interest in cave science, and both groups play valuable collaborative roles in Speleology as a whole.

2) Whatever field-work tools & laboratory facilities necessary for the particular study in the particular branch of science within Speleology.

3) Genuine and sound knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the subject and of caves generally. The knowledge may range from keen amateur, starting with cave original-exploration & surveying or animal-observing, to professional-level skills in fully-equipped laboratories.

4) Access to appropriate publications, publishers & libraries to record the findings properly and formally. One such is 'Cave & Karst Science', the learned-Journal of the British Cave Research Association, and it enjoys an international reputation and authorship from countries as diverse as China, Iran, America & S.Africa as well as Europe and of course its GB home.
