Dive the Great Wrecks and Coral of the FLORIDA KEYS!
The 510-foot Spiegel Grove
A retired U.S. Navy Landing Ship Dock (LSD), slipped beneath the waves June 10, 2002, and settled on its side, becoming the largest ship ever sunk intentionally to cultivate an artificial reef. Divers and snorkelers flocked to the ship when it was opened to the public for the first time on June 24, 2002. "The Spiegel Grove is probably the best known artificial reef in the world," said Joy Martin, chairperson of the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce. "Ironically, that distinction came before the first sport diver ever descended."

USCGC BIBB and DUANE
These two "Secretary Class" Coast Guard cutters were put down as artificial reefs in November 1987. They have since become home to a wide variety of pelagic and reef fish, and host to numerous types of coral formations.
The Bibb lies on her starboard side, with her bow pointing to the East Northeast. Upon descent, a diver will encounter her hull at a depth of 85-90 ft. The depth of the superstructure is 95-120 ft. The massive hull provides a stable platform, for divers who prefer to have a "deck" under them. Penetration of the superstructure is possible, though it CAN be disorienting, and a "tight fit" with SCUBA gear.
Depth range 85-130 ft.
The Duane sits upright, and offers a unique dive; the fact that everything is intact and properly oriented, gives many divers an increased sense of "ease" about the dive. Her main deck level is at about 100 ft. with structure as high as 50 ft. This gives one an opportunity to plan and make multi-level dives, safely extending bottom times.Depth range 50-125 ft.
