So I breached the first cavern at z-27 and got a message about a downward passage. I keep going down and  breach the cavern again a couple of times as I reveal it. Then at about where I think the second cavern is (z-41) one of my miners decides to go exploring before I can seal another unexpected breach. A minute later I get a message about a deep pit and another cavern. I can now see water all the way down at z-56.
Is that the bottom of the third cavern or the second? I've never dug beyond the second cavern before and this is deeper than that.
Also is there any program that will display the caverns in 3D? It took me ages to work out the route my miner took with all the dead end passages and branching slopes.

This is a standard world gen with no mods. The only setting I've tweaked from default is world size and amount of ore.

If you can see trees called blood thorns, third. If no, probably not third. If there are nether-caps in addition, also third for sure. Blood thorns are surer, though - they don't require any water to be on the third layer.

Also, search for Stonesense. It does something 3D.

Assuming this is your only breach, if you see Goblin-caps, Spore trees, Black-caps, and Tunnel tubes then you are 2nd level.  If you see only those with Nether-caps and Blood thorns then third.   If none of them then you are still in the first.  Wildlife present is less reliable as an indicator because passages can connect the levels.

If you definitively know that you've accessed the first and second caverns, then the lake at the bottom of that pit is definitely the third cavern layer. Deep pits always connect two cavern layers.
