To start with you shouldn't penetrate without knowing the
outside of a wreck, that way once out even if not the hole
you crawled into, you can find the anchor line. Then you
penetrate only as far as you can see out and keep track of
things like bulkheads or doorways or anything that you can
recognize as the way out. Then as you learn the area you
want to penetrate you can go progessively deeper into
the wreck, learning each new area before moving on.

That is only one way, but it works for me.
