Hello!

For sinkhole/karst related features, you may use natural=sinkhole+sinkhole=*; it seems that natural=cave_entrance is for features in which one may enter without speleological tools.

Some cave-related keys are suggested on the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cave#Cave:ref_and_variants

Regards.
