This came across my email feed today. It's a new video game that will be released later this year which has a very macabre theme: You crawl through endless cave passages that are tiny and tight to find a treasure - but mostly you die alone in the dark in a bellycrawl or tight chimney. I have no idea why they named it Cave Diver - you aren't cave diving from what I have seen. Here's the game description and trailer:

Jerry Atkinson.

"The premise here is that you're trying to find a possibly-mythical subterranean flower that has the ability to cure your paraplegia. You move using your hands and arms and, where called for, the element of momentum. You can also scrawl signs on the rock to navigate by during your next attempt, in the quite likely event that you die. The threat of being crushed or trapped aside, the depths harbour some kind of ancient, ravenous evil. Going by the logo art, The Oesophagus Diver would have been an acceptable alternative title."

Jerry,

Dry caving is being conflated with cave diving in the public parlance and the misnomer is overtaking "spelunking," as the term that I hear most often.
