What is cave exploration? From the time immemorial men's quest to know the unknown is endless but in the modern age the saga of cave exploration has become a favorite adventure activity for the Americans. Being adventurous they have been the key people who have brought to the fore the required techniques need fore the sake of exploring a commercial cave, or engaging in advanced spelunking of non-commercial caves.

It used to be that people who explored caves were called spelunkers and the act of exploring caves was called spelunking. To the uninformed person who does not follow the exploration of caves it would appear that this is still the case. However, over the past 30 years or so the word spelunker has fallen out of favor and now the act is called caving and those that participate are called cavers.
