Cavers
I have never seen "spelunker" in any caving literature.
Revising my previous answer, having learnt more about it since, "spelunkers" was name coined by a group of New England caving club for themselves in the 1940s; and rather grandly combines Latin and Greek words for "cave". It was used happily and neutrally in the US (but rarely anywhere else) until the 1960s, when American cavers themselves started to turn it into a derogatory term for poorly-equipped and none-too-competent novices and dilettantes.
