TecDiveTools lists 1 dive centre teaching Adv. Cave - No Mount Diver in the United States. 1 of them publish course prices, in the currency the shop advertises and with the date each was checked — not converted, and not estimated.
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
This specialized cave technique teaches divers to navigate and exit cave systems using no mount configuration (bailout gas only or minimal tank arrangement), enabling passage through extremely tight restrictions where stage cylinders would create hazards. The course emphasizes refined gas management, stage abandonment protocols specific to no mount setup, and streamlined movement through narrow sumps and restrictions. You must first master sidemount configuration in the Advanced Cave - Sidemount course before progressing to this advanced specialization, which unlocks access to the tightest passages in technical cave systems.

Florida's springs are the other classic cave-training ground besides Mexico, and the conditions are the difference: strong outflow in many systems, water around 22°C (72°F) all year and sometimes tannic, lower visibility. You learn to manage flow, gas and line in harder conditions, and divers who train here often find Mexican caves easy by comparison.
