Technical Wreck Diver in the United States: 2 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say. 1 publish course prices.
TecDiveTools lists 2 dive centres teaching Technical Wreck 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 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, 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
Advanced wreck penetration training using extended decompression and multiple gas switches for experienced wreck divers.

Opens legendary deep wrecks (USS Monitor, wrecks off Europe, etc.) and technical salvage projects requiring mastery of extended-penetration skills.
Extended wreck penetration line protocols and navigation, multi-gas management in confined wreck spaces, complex decompression planning in tight overhead environments, wreck-specific hazard assessment, emergency procedures in wreck penetration scenarios
The centres listed above teach IANTD Technical Wreck Diver 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.
2 dive centres on TecDiveTools teach IANTD Technical Wreck Diver in the United States: Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay) (1) and North Florida Cave Country (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.
At the same tier in TecDiveTools' cross-agency comparison, dive centres in the United States also teach TDI Advanced Wreck (19). They are comparable rather than interchangeable — each agency sets its own standards and card, so check which one your next course accepts.
