Spiegle Grove

[Eric Flickinger]

I have dove the spiegle three times and it is an excellent dive. I am looking for a set of blueprints to go deeper into the ship

Most of the dive shops that serve that site offer laminated floorplans for divers for a fee.

I dove the speigel grove last week on Weds. with horizon divers. There was very little current on the descent, but the ascent I felt like a flag flying in the breeze during the safety stop. It sure made getting back on the boat a challenge. We also had to monitor our depth guage on the safety stop because there must have been 15-20 people trying to do their safety stop at 15 ft, which pulled the buoy deeper in the water. Eventually we ended up at about about 22 ft. Not a big deal, just something to monitor.

I have dove the spiegle twice in February and this last time in March 14th I believe. Other then the waves being a little rough the current was fairly calm all three times. Even if I had to hold on from start to finish I would still do the grove.

That's a good question. No lobsters, no artifacts, no spear fishing, not that much growth yet. When u get there operators say "no penetration" (as if the scuba police are there).
It is however a mamoth intact artificial reef (a wreck is something that was .... well wrecked to end up on the bottom) Visability is fairly good, and photo ops are abundant.

I only waited abt 6 years to dive it, and got to do 2 dives on it in Dec and 3 in Jan.
