Advanced Wreck in Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay): 2 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say.
TecDiveTools lists 2 dive centres teaching Advanced Wreck in Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay), United States.
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). 2 of these 2 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, 2 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.

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 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.
