Wreck Diving in FL

[sidneydiver]

Definitely Key Largo. I dove the Spiegal Grove, the Duane and the Eagle in one very amazing day. If you do go, I thoroughly recommend www.conchrepublicdivers.com

I second Conch Republic. They're good people. We'll be there for a week of diving in 3 weeks. Can't wait.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Also if you need a place to stay check out Island Bay resorts. http://www.islandbayresort.com/</DIV>
<DIV>Scott and Carol have a real nice 10 cottage establishment and it's only about 3 miles north of Conch Republic.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Don't forget to get some breakfast at Mango Mike's. Yumms </DIV>

Having just got back from Fort Lauderdale two weeks ago, it's reputation for diving is well deserved. American Dream II does a 70 foot wreck dive and a 20 foot reef dive every trip.

Sea Emperor off Deerfield Beach. I have been on 100+ wreck dive and the Sea Emperor is the best. Incredible marine life.

[yeroks]

Is the Sea Emperor a OW or AOW dive?

[kevinj1]

I believe it is supposed to be an AOW dive, because it is around a 65ft. dive. I would definetely check this first, but I believe that is the correct depth.

[Rascal1933]

That sounds about right 65 ft,would be justout of OW certrec limits...
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Any dive reports/details on diving it from anyone?</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Quick search on it looks like a pretty good dive,with lot's of sea critters to look at too.</DIV>

[kevinj1]

Everytime I dive down to the bottom on the Sea Emperor, I am greeted by large stingrays that engulf you (looking for food). Their mouth basically land right on your mask---it is amazing.
<DIV>A coupl of moray eels currently reside there and of course your occasional shark stroll by from time-to-time.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Dont forget about all the Goliath Grouper hanging out.</DIV>
