They have four levels from what i found. Here is how i read them.

Cavern - same as padi and tdi
Intro to cave - limits you to 1/3 of air penetration. No jumps or redtrictions and no deco. Seems to focus on use of singles and h-valves
Basic cave - same as intro but uses doubles and allows deco.
Full cave - unrestricted cave with deco. Same as tdi full cave + deco procedures
