Horizon Divers at MM100 has a nice twin hill cat that is stable. This may be a plus if the wind is blowing. On the down side I found it more difficult to re-board the boat in a stiff current. You have to board on the side and the trail line they were using at the time was only 1/4 inch rope (tough to hold with gloves and large hands).
If I were to do this dive again, it would be with Diver City which I believe goes out to the SG on Tuesday. They have a real boat for real divers.

The reason I choose them is the boats are small - Quiescence boat carries 6 max.
Scuba-Do carries 15 or so max.

I will be diving the speigal grove on Sept 16th. I will probably actually make a couple of dives on it. I am going to be diving with Island Adventures at mm104. I have never dove with them but they came highley recommended. They seem to cater the dives around the divers. He asked my what I wanted to dive and I told him the Grove and he said then we will do the grove. I like a dive boat that gets input from the divers. I will let you know how I like them.

check out our op at www.BlueWaterDiver.net
There's a pre-sinking shot of the Grove, with our boat in the foreground, on our homepage. That's the view (port side) you'll have as you descend on the wreck.
Enjoy!

Since you're covered by U.S. regulations and insurance, I guess they're all good. My preferences of the half dozen I've been out with there are really just based on my personal preferences.
In particular, I'm been down on the S.Grove with Kellys, Ocean Dives, and Tavenier - all good. I'd go with Tavenier, though:
(1) 100 cu ft Nitrox tanks;
(2) Nitrox blended to order - and I prefer 30%;
(3) And even though it's a longer boat ride for him, and he charges more for that, Mike's still cheap, as well as a helluva good guy.
'Course, you're qualified to go out with any of them...
Have fun! Don
