The objective

The objective of this course is to perfection the skills taught in the cavern diving program, in addition to the adoption of additional techniques required for elementary cave dives to a maximum depth of 130fsw/40msw.

Blue Label Diving, due to logistics and distance to the lake, does not teach the cavern course on its own. The intro to cave course is conducted over 2 days and with the drive down to the location we need a minimum of 4 days / 3 nights. You could for example do the Intro to cave course and the TDI advanced nitrox course at the lake. This would be a total of 5 days. Or you do the cavern and intro together in 4 days.
