but I just found it too "sanitized" to be really interesting. It is a big wreck, though.
It's not the largest wreck, just the largest ship sunk deliberately to create a artificial reef.
I am going back next week to check it out again, two dives does not begin to cover it all.

I have over 30 dives on the Grove and still see something new! Very large with alot to see and the life growing on and living in the wreck itself is growing all the time. It doesn't have all the colorful sponges and such as the Duane and Bibb, but it will in time.

Hey boys!!!!This is my first post, new to this board. I am planning on diving the Grove next month, after cave diving in North FL. I am from Ohio and will be in FL for two weeks. We are going out on a dive boat from Tavenier Scuba, they tell me they will give us two hours over the SG. We are planning on one long dive. Using 21/30 tri-mix and 50% and 100% O2 for deco. I am planning the dive on my PC. What depths can I expect? I hear there are ropes installed as permanent lines, what depths? Planning on using the 50% at 70 foot and up. 100% at 20 foot. Max depth? Is there much to see at max depth? Any info is great. Thanks in advance. Brian Kendall caver@prodigy.net
lies on her starboard side at ~130'. Her port side reaches to within 50' of the surface. With her centerline at ~100', the entire port half of the wreck lies between 100' and 50'. There are some big poly lines inside, some as shallow as ~70', but I haven't relied on them. So much to see... so little time!

I've been diving in a variety of places, too, but you are right, there are no wrecks like the ones in Key Largo.pacogo46 once bubbled...
He buceado en Hawaii, Islas Virgenes, Bahamas, Florida Keys, Peru y creo que no he encontado mejor Wreck que el Spiegel Grove, 550' de adrenalina, es el nufragio mas grande del mundo, con una increibel visibilidad.
I haven't gotten to dive the SG yet, but I was there the day it sank. I can't wait to see it again underwater.
