Incredible diving in the Florida Keys this week. Double North Dry Rocks, Key Largo -- ROCKS!

This video was made in the engine room of the ex-USS Spiegel Grove. I was in full cave gear, the depth at the bottom is about 140 feet.
Going to the engine room on this ship is a FULL technical dive and has ALL the components of a dangerous wreck dive. Plenty of silt on the bottom and the overhead, complete overhead environment, depths to bring about narcosis, lots of ways and places to get lost as has happened when three divers lost their lives attempting this very dive without training or the proper gear.
I was hesitant to publish this here for fear that people will think it is SO VERY COOL that someone will attempt this dive without proper training and equipment.
In order to do this dive safely the diver needs to have completed an Advanced Wreck Diver course, such as the one in the following link. Advanced Wreck Class
The video is 10 minutes in length....
