Default Dive the U.S.S. Spiegel Grove Shipwreck

At 510 feet in length, the navy’s U.S.S. Spiegel Grove is the second largest shipwreck in the United States. However, most divers consider it to be the premier shipwreck to dive in all the United States, because of the pristine condition of the vessel, tropical location (Key Largo, FL), warm water 74-90 F degrees, outstanding visibility (up to 120 feet), and exciting sea life. The ship was intentionally sunk for the purposes of creating an artificial reef and recreational dive site. It is now one of the world’s best recreational dive sites!

This U.S. Navy vessel sits upright in the sand, with only a 4 foot difference between the bow and stern. Maximum depth is 140 feet, but the main deck and all of the super-structure is located at a depth of only 85 feet. So whether you are a professional or recreational diver this is the wreck for you!
Aqua Sports, Inc. an "Elite SCUBA & Rescue Training Institute" and the nation's leader in Shipwreck Specialty certification courses.
The Aqua Sports, Inc. professional dive staff escorts small groups of no more than six divers to the Spiegel every a month to experience this underwater wonder.
Our professional shipwreck specialty instructor will act as your personal tour guide, and our award-winning, published, underwater photographer will create a complete photo album of you diving the U.S.S. Spiegel grove (approximately 50 high resolution photos and mpeg video of YOU).
