cave dive
Underwater cavern swim
Cave dive is underwater exploration of submerged caves, combining scuba diving with spelunking.
It's among the most dangerous forms of recreational diving—disorientation, equipment failure, or running out of air in confined passages can be fatal.
As a verb, to cave dive is to engage in this activity: We're going to cave dive the springs this weekend.
