I'm heading down to Key West and Key Largo in a week or so and my more-diving-experience-then-me-but-not-THAT-much-more fiance and I were thinking of diving the Duane. I was PADI OW certified last year, AOW certified a few months later, and have about 15 dives under my belt (including Nitrox certification) - but mostly on shallower reefs and quarry stuff. I was told that the Duane was a pretty difficult dive - deep and possible strong current. Any comments or enlightenment as to if I'd be over my head with that one? The alternative would be the Spiegel Grove...but I have a feeling it's just as advanced or nearly so (don't want to do the Benwood - already done it). We're staying at Amy Slate's for two days and they aren't diving either during that time. Aquanuts will be going to the Duane, and we could pick up a dive with them. I'm unsure as to any other diving outfits in that area that might be going to the Spiegel Grove.
Thanks so much for any help! I'm in good shape, not prone to panic, and I'm comfortable with depths beyond 70 feet. I just don't want to get in over my head (so to speak).
