I didn't really notice too much monofilament on the Duane or Spiegel.

The Eagle is a great dive.... but you just don't hear much about people diving it. I guess it's a farther boat ride and the boats want to get back quicker for the next trip. There arent any mooring bouys on it also if I remember correctly, so more of a hassle for boat captains.
I didn't have any monofilament problems on it. maybe I was lucky.
still a great dive. |
Yeah, Conch republic does it, since they are probably the closest shop to it, being located in Tavernier. There are 4 mooring buoys on the Eagle, with 2 on the surface and 2 at 15'. The Eagle was also the only wreck we went to that had fishermen tied up to the mooring buoys when we got here to dive. All the other wrecks were just dive boats.
