Comments This was my second dive on the Speigel Grove with Spencer Slate and Neal Watson. On the first one several years ago the ship was on its side and there were no buoys nor descent lines, compounded by a ripping current. This time the ship was upright and a sight to behold. There are now no less than 10 moorings and, with the weather being dismal, we were the only ones on the wreck, courtesy of Slate, one of the best dive operators anywhere and a genial host. To add to the excellence of the dive, there was no current to speak of. This is a wreck that ought to be dived several times due to its sheer size. There is now abundant growth and is home to many large jewfish and barracuda.
