First time to Spiegel Grove....WoW!!

[ReefTrekker]

Dove the Grove earlier today......Fantastic!!

Took a small private boat out there and did 2 dives with a few buddies. Virtually no current (if there was, I'd have to guess which direction it was moving). Vis was about 65 feet or so.....sea was flat as a board in the morning. We really lucked out.

I moved here from Texas, and apparently we had it all wrong. Things are bigger in Florida! (Save the retorts guys, I've heard them all.....besides, it WAS rather cold this morning...ha ha)

Not a whole lot of fish out there today.....I looked over my shoulder more than a few times wondering what the heck might have scared them off. Perhaps the sheer size of the wreck made it seem a bit more desolate than it really was.

Just wanted to share my exitement with the crowd.....I'll definitely be making several return trips......I'll have to if I want to see most of the ship.
If anyone who reads this hasn't gone.....go!! You won't soon forget it.

Glad you had a great dive, I was there in July, but when we got to the dive spot, we had to cancell due to rough seas and strong current. We ended up at Sombrero reef which is one of my favorite dive spots.

I will try again this summer to do S.G.

Welcome to the board and join us in our get togethers for some beach dives comming up.

:loopy:

I have been thinking about taking a trip down to dive the SG. Glad to hear good things about diving it!

Safe Diving!

I have dove her ten times and was supposed to go yesterday afternoon(Friday) but decieded I didn't want to pack a wet dive bag since we are leaving early tomorow for a cruise. You are making me second guess my choice. Glad you enjoyed and hope to see you there another day.

You hit it lucky - lots of winter dives in Florida get blown out either due to the seas or the wicked currents. If I were you, I would have stopped off at the first convenience store there in Key Largo and bought $10 worth of lottery tickets.

I'm Jealous Dude,
Sounds like a great dive Maybe I'll shoot for SG in the spring or early summer

Anyone up to have a bunch of us for a get together for a day out for the S.G. and then have lunch and drinks afterwards say sometime in April or May for a Scubaboard day outing.

 

[bobert]

That sounds great. Let me know.

Sounds great... I've heard several war stories of bad currents and rough seas from a few divers in our club. Nice to hear the SG is not all about hanging on for dear life..
