Caving
Caving is a recreational sport and quite dirty because caves are usually full of mud. It seems like a fun sport to give it a shot if you are adventurous enough.

| The challenges of the sport depend on the cave being visited, but often include the negotiation of pitches, squeezes, and water. Climbing or crawling is often necessary, and ropes are used extensively. Caving is often undertaken for the enjoyment of the activity or for physical exercise, but original exploration, or physical or biological science is an important goal for many cavers. Virgin cave systems comprise some of the last unexplored regions on Earth and much effort is put into trying to locate and enter them. In well-explored regions (such as most first-world countries), the most accessible caves have already been explored, and gaining access to new caves often requires digging or diving. |

Be glad to come and join you LDS_Forever but first I think we better take some training as I think it can be dangerous. Gas pockets and recognizing stable structures pop into mind.
Like diving this one might take some extra training if going to unknown caves. In my area we have very few and most were turned into tourist traps.
