When we think of wreck diving we often think of Bermuda.  Here they hand out certificates for each wreck you dive.  Now that everywhere outside the US requires a passport, you might want to look no further than Florida for wrecks from the north all the way down to the Keys.  Below is a list of wrecks found in and around Florida.  I hope you enough to keep you busy for a few weeks.
