No doubt an amazing free dive but it makes me wonder all kinds of things. I remember when that ship was sank (oops) but retired from diving and never followed it after. Are the currents so bad that people really rarely dive it? Seems like a horrible place to put it if true. And if it is so dangerous, why is she penetrating the wreck while free diving? I know she has safety divers and that it looks awesome but something in me says hmmmmm.

You shouldn't believe everything you see/hear on the internet.

And real freedivers don't need no fins!



But seriously,freediving is beyond my comprehension.

No LOL

Free diving is a beautiful thing. It's a level of fitness that I'll frankly never have. But to make such dramatic and inaccurate statements as part of a narrative just takes away from that beauty in my mind.

A very dramatic video and narrative. However, it's probably one of the most popular wreck diving sites in South Florida, and has I would guess more than 100 people a day diving it. The currents may be strong daily due to tidal shift, and proximity to the gulfstream, but it's dived a lot. The forward deck lies at around 105', and the deck guns are at about 85' deep.

I have several dives on the Spiegel, and never saw a free diver- great video. I also recall that there was always current , more of a problem between the surface and the ship than on the ship itself. The boats I have been on determined current at surface, and at about 40 feet in determining if the site was "diveable" that day. I recall one ascent on a line where all was fairly calm until about 6o feet and then we all looked like flags in a stiff breeze hanging on the line and ascending hand over hand. All of which makes the video even more impressive. Thanks for sharing!

You never know about the current. Our last trip to the SG, we made a double dip with absolutely zero current. Just drifted down next to the line all the way.
