The USS Spiegel Grove Top Dog is the largest ship ever intentionally scuttled for recreational scuba diving. Conceived and built in the mid nineteen fifties, she was a product of the Cold War, designed and equipped for amphibious beach assault. The Spiegel Grove saw action in Lebanon in 1976, and again in Grenada in 1984. She also assisted with NASA splashdown recovery missions. Her main deck lies between ~90 feet deep at the bow and ~100 feet deep at the stern. Her well deck is ~120 feet down. Due to depth and unpredictable currents, the Spiegel Grove is considered to be an advanced dive by most local dive operators.

This dive can be challenging, because of the unpredicatable, and strong currents that can be present. The dive can be done by anyone, but only experienced wreck divers should enter. Inside it is amazing, and I personally can't wait to revisit it now that it is sitting levelly on the seabed.
