Advanced Wreck in worldwide: 96 instructors on TecDiveTools, with the agencies and courses each teaches, and a summary of what students say.
TecDiveTools lists 96 instructors teaching Advanced Wreck worldwide.
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). 48 of these 96 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, 37 have a written synthesis of what reviewers say about them. 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.
