Comments Had the opportunity to dive the Spiegel Grove on two consecutive days.
Both days there was a slight surface current, enough current on the wreck to tauten your reef hook,no more. The first day, there were five divers,the second day three. It is a beautiful,magical,ghostly intact wreck,very fishy,large groupers,attendant barracudas,and lovely soft corals.There are plenty of swim throughs that are easily accessible to any level of diver.The second dives were on the Benwood Wreck and French Reef. Both were excellent. Turtles, every kind of reef fish were on parade. I saw a beautiful File Fish with coloration I had never seen before. The corals were very clean, very little visible algae. The Elkhorn coral was particularly vibrant. I can only hope that the introduction of a central sewer system in Key Largo is having a beneficial effect.The Capt. and his mate were absolutely first rate. They didn't treat you like you were a two year old.
