Great Dive - If new to the wreck - get a guide Great dive! Went in mid-August 2010. I am an intermediate level diver with deep and wreck training but would highly recommend hiring a guide who knows the wreck so that you can get the best "bang" for your dive. I hired a guy out of Pirate Island Divers at the Key Largo Marriott and he really led a great tour of the wreck - internally and externally. I was fortunate to have very calm conditions on the day I was there. I have dive friends from MN who have gone tot he wreck when the current was really ripping and they had some trouble and, in one case, a near rescue scenario. I would not recommend this dive to novices or even intermediate divers if the current is running strong; however, if conditions are calm, I would highly recommend it and, even for advanced divers, there is plenty to explore. I had a great time and would do this dive over and over if I had the chance. I did a two tank dive on the ship and probably only saw about 10% of it. Very cool superstructural items (crains, trusses....) highly recommended - stay away if a ripping current - it just cannot be very fun on days like that.

Watch the currents We just dove the Spiegel last week. The current was 2.5 knots. That was enough to make you hang onto the mooring rope and fly like a flag. Not for the faint of heart. It took the enjoyment out of it for me. All I worried about was being swept away by the current. We dove on nitrox, but I was breathing heavy so our dive was shortened. Don't underestimate when the boat captain says "There is a little current down there." I didn't get the full impression that it was that strong until I got in the water.

Outstanding dive, but not for the faint of heart Wonderful dive, but currents can change in an instant and can cause trouble on the decent. Great vis, blue water, lots of fish. This ship is massive with lots of entry points but don't enter this ship without an experienced guide and reels. Divers have died on this site.

What a RUSH! Thrilling dive! Dove it 4 times in September '09. Penetrated twice. Dove the bow, center and stern. Hit bottom at the stern and saw the props (135'). Awesome dive, highly recommend it. <><

One of my favorites. I've done several dives on this artificial reef, and I have to say, every one of them has left me wanting more. Be wary of currents, as they can shift and change from surface to depth, and be sure to bring a light if you decide to go exploring. Vis is generally +75' so bring a camera with flash too! Try to get on mooring ball #6, which will put you on the port side of the wreck with the Lifetime Sponsors memoriam directly underneath you. I like to take new divers from here, clockwise around the superstructure. Just a great dive!

Even better if there was a better word that awesome.... Thanks Shane

Great Wreck, Wonderfull Vis, Little Current This was a great dive. It's great when the conditions are good, and can be a little intimidating when the seas are rough and the current ripping. When the currents are stiff you will hang off the downline. There is plenty to see without penetrating the wreck.
