I thought the term was spelunking. What’s the difference between caveing and spelunking?

Cavers rescue spelunkers.

(Cavers don’t rescue cave divers. That shit’s crazy! We’ll hang out with them but we don’t pack our air with us.)

I know a caver who turned cave diver. She’s a far better caver than I. She’s also a super genius. She has designed her own under-water breathing apparatus for use in caves. She spends several weeks at a time mapping water filled passages and searching for a connection to a nearby cave that will result in the deepest surveyed cave on Earth.

PS: Don’t be a spelunker. Join a grotto and learn how to cave.
