Advanced Wreck in the United States: 19 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say. 4 publish course prices.
TecDiveTools lists 19 dive centres teaching Advanced Wreck in the United States. 4 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). 16 of these 19 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, 12 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
Technical wreck penetration course advancing beyond entry-level wreck diving. Teaches deep penetration technique, gas management for extended overhead environments, and navigation discipline inside wrecks where direct ascent is impossible. Requires 6 penetration dives with 100 minutes bottom time inside real wrecks, not just around them.
Minimum 6 wreck penetration dives with 100 minutes accumulated bottom time. In-water skills: line-following in zero visibility, navigation inside wreck structure, gas management for long overhead sections, emergency procedures with limited ascent options. Pre-dive planning for penetration depth limits and gas reserves.
The centres listed above teach TDI Advanced Wreck in United States. Requirements are set by the agency, not the centre, so they are the same wherever you train — what differs is price, class size and how much diving is included.
19 dive centres on TecDiveTools teach TDI Advanced Wreck in the United States: Southeast Florida (8), North Florida Cave Country (6), Florida Keys (2), Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay) (2) and Florida Panhandle (1). Each is listed above.
The USS Oriskany off Pensacola is a trimix wreck: flight deck around 43 m, hangar decks deeper, sand around 65 m, and a structure large enough that experienced cave divers treat it with respect. Off Key Largo, the Spiegel Grove and the Bibb (lying on its side) reach about 40 m and are used for decompression and penetration training on a smaller scale.
One centre in the TecDiveTools directory publishes a whole-course price for TDI Advanced Wreck in the United States: Horizon Divers, at $1,800. Prices differ mainly in what they include, so compare the inclusions before comparing the numbers. Prices were last checked in September 2026.
At the same tier in TecDiveTools' cross-agency comparison, dive centres in the United States also teach IANTD Technical Wreck Diver (2). They are comparable rather than interchangeable — each agency sets its own standards and card, so check which one your next course accepts.
