I have completed 7 dives on the Spiegel Grove in 2002. It is a very interesting dive. I understand that there has been a significant increase of sea life on the wreck since 2002. I plan to dive it soon to update my video. see the link below

I am a key largo local, and have 80+ dives on the speigel. Its a great dive. Dont go to the sand, there isnt much to see and it kills your bottom time. Every now and then there is a big jewish down there, but he also hangs out near the top propeller (about 75ft). Whomever you dive with, you may want to think about getting a dive guide the first trip. They know most of the ins and outs to the wreck (swimthroughs and what not). If you've not already booked a boat, try dive-in, www.diveinflkeys.com. They are a small six pack, but its a brand new twin hull fast cat. very nice operation.
