Rebreather Full Cave in the United States: 10 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say. 2 publish course prices.
TecDiveTools lists 10 dive centres teaching Rebreather Full Cave in the United States. 2 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). 9 of these 10 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, 7 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
CORRECTED TIER: This is a diver-level course, not instructor trainer. Rebreather Full Cave Diver extends full-cave diving onto a closed-circuit rebreather—combining complex navigation, jumps, circuits, and traverses with CCR-specific bailout planning and unit-failure response. For CCR divers with real cave experience seeking to move cave diving onto rebreather.
Minimum 6 cave dives with 420 accumulated minutes total at 3 different sites, at least 2 sites with 75+ minutes long dives. Maximum depth 45m/150ft. Students must maintain guideline discipline, execute proper bailout procedures, and demonstrate CCR emergency response in overhead environment.
The centres listed above teach TDI Rebreather Full Cave 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.
10 dive centres on TecDiveTools teach TDI Rebreather Full Cave in the United States: North Florida Cave Country (8) and Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay) (2). Each is listed above.
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.
Every centre in the TecDiveTools directory that publishes a price for TDI Rebreather Full Cave in the United States charges by the day rather than for the whole course. Prices differ mainly in what they include, so compare the inclusions before comparing the numbers. Prices were last checked in September 2026.
5 days, based on the durations 1 centre publishes for it in the United States. The time depends on the centre's schedule, weather, and how quickly the required skills are demonstrated — agencies set a minimum number of dives, not a fixed number of days.
At the same tier in TecDiveTools' cross-agency comparison, dive centres in the United States also teach IANTD CCR Cave Diver (3). They are comparable rather than interchangeable — each agency sets its own standards and card, so check which one your next course accepts.
