TDI Stage Cave in Indonesia: 1 dive centre on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say.
TecDiveTools lists 1 dive centre teaching TDI Stage Cave in Indonesia.
Listings are ordered by how much evidence exists about their technical diving, not by a star rating, with any paid Featured listing shown first and marked as such (how rankings work). 1 of these 1 carry reviews we have read and classified as being about technical or overhead training. The count excludes recreational certifications by name, so a busy resort does not outrank a one-instructor cave operation on the volume of its reef trips. Separately, 1 have at least one instructor whose reviews we have read and summarised — a dive centre carries no synthesis of its own. How we read and count reviews.

About the course
Stage Cave (officially 'Stage Overhead Diver' in TDI Part 2 standards) teaches cave divers to extend their range using stage cylinders—auxiliary gas bottles clipped along the guideline to supplement back gas beyond what a single tank configuration allows. This course is designed for Full Cave Divers seeking to push deeper or longer into cave systems, teaching stage-cylinder management, gas planning for extended penetrations, and the specific procedures for clipping, unclipping, and switching to stage bottles mid-dive in overhead environments.
Students complete 3 or more cave dives (each 90+ minutes) across 2 different dive sites, demonstrating mastery of: stage-cylinder rigging and deployment, complex gas planning for extended bottom time, stage bottle clipping and unclipping at depth, emergency procedures with stages, safe stage handling under task-loading, and proper decompression protocols with stage support.

Southeast Sulawesi's caves are warm (around 26°C), clear and nearly flowless, with road access close to many entrances, and much of the region is still unexplored. That makes it a Mexico-like place to progress from cavern to full cave in Asia, and one where trained cave divers can still join survey and exploration work.
At the same tier in TecDiveTools' cross-agency comparison, dive centres in Indonesia also teach IANTD Adv. Cave - Stage/Multi-Stage Diver (1). They are comparable rather than interchangeable — each agency sets its own standards and card, so check which one your next course accepts.
