CAVES - just that.

The word "cavern" is occasionally applied to large chambers ("rooms" in US cavers' parlance,I think) and by their owners, to show-caves; but the normal word in all English-language caving speech and text, for any natural subterranean voidirrespective of type and size, is just, CAVE!
