Seems like small cave exploration robots are well within reach for current technology.

Any HN billionaire up for funding the development?

NASA worked with a commercial partner to develop the SUNFISH [1][2] for future exploration of Europa. It's been used to explore underwater caves and they have a video showing the generated data from Peacock Springs [3]

A submarine drone could probably be done as a hobby project with a fairly limited budget.

There already is a company doing this, I’ve heard the CEO speak at a conference. They are heavily involved in the cave diving community and will likely start making long distance mapping records in the next few years.
