We offer custom guided tours of Key Largo's awesome wreck sites. </p> <p><br> Try out our brand of &quot;No Stress&quot; wreck diving that will give you a dive you'll remember for a lifetime!</p> <p><br> An annual Medallion for diving the artificial reefs of Key Largo will be required. The cost is $10 and the collected monies help maintain the artificial reefs of the Upper Keys. These wrecks include: Duane, Bibb, and USS Spiegel Grove.</p> <p><br> The wrecks are also home to a great number of spectacular corals and fish. There are sites that have wreckage from a number of time periods and vessels, for all divers. These dives include, The City of Washington, a ship with a history dating back to the 1800's and The Benwood, which was sunk during W.W.II times....... and more. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Also for the more experienced divers we have the artificial reefs, the US Coastguard ships Duane and Bibb. Since 1987 these sister ships of 327 feet long have done their new and last assignment very well. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The USS Spiegel Grove is a Landing Ship Dock (LSD 32), which is now the largest vessel ever intentionally sunk as an artificial reef. The vessel is 510 feet in length, 84 feet wide. Hurricane Dennis accomplished what man could not: She sits upright - as she was intended to sink! Come and see the great &quot;new&quot; wreck of Key Largo!</p> <p><br> The sea life has adopted them as their home.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" style="text-align: center"> <img border="0" src="images/nostress.gif" width="352" height="35" alt="Florida Keys No Stress Diving Reefs and Wrecks"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- #EndEditable --></td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="18%">&nbsp;</td> <td valign="top"> <div align="center"> <table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="90%" id="table12"> <tr> <td> <p align="center" style="text-align: center"><font face="Gill Sans MT" size="2"> Island Ventures </font> <p class="style6"><span class="style2"> 103900 Overseas Highway - </span> <font face="Gill Sans MT" size="2"> MM 103.9, Key Largo, Florida</font></p> <p align="center" style="text-align: center" class="style6"> <font face="Gill Sans MT"> <span class="style6">GPS </span></font> <span class="style6">N 25°08.630 W 080°23.910</span><p align="center" style="text-align: center"> <font face="Gill Sans MT" size="2"> Tel: 305-451-4957 <img border="0" src="images/diveflag_sm.gif" width="19" height="14"> Toll Free: 1-866-293-5006&nbsp; <img border="0" src="images/diveflag_sm.gif" width="19" height="14"> Fax: 305-453-0121</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" style="text-align: center"> <font size="1">Email: </font> <font size="1"> <a href="mailto:dive@islandventure.com?subject=Referral from Island Ventures Web Site">Dive@IslandVenture.com</a></font></td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> </body> <!-- #EndTemplate --> </html>
