Scuba Diving in Key Largo, Florida: Molasses Reef, French Reef, Benwood & Spiegle Grove dive sites
The most frequently visited dive site in the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, and likely the world, is known as Molasses Reef. During World War II, near midnight on April 9th, 1942, the Norwegian merchant freighter Benwood was on a routine path from Florida to Virginia, transporting a load of phosphate rock. It was running with no lights to avoid being spotted by German U-boats, which was common for ships throughout the war. The Spiegle Grove ship is enormous and much larger than any natural reef structure in the Keys. In fact, at the time of its sinking, the Spiegel Grove was the largest ship ever intentionally sunk to create a new reef for divers, and it remains one of the largest ships ever scuttled for that purpose.

Those reefs look polluted as f..
it's the mass pollution, sewage, bleach that is all released from plants and pipes that you should worry about fools
I only wish you would have given more info about depths at the Speigel
Glad to see no lionfish.
Dude, get a head mount for that camera. Nobody wants to see YOU!
Fantastic video! I look forward to diving there! After watching ; I almost feel I've been there 🙂
Excellent videography and narration of your dive. I can't wait for an opportunity to dive along the keys.
SEA DWELLERS!!! What a great crew. Scott is one of the best captains we've ever had. Great video, too. Excellent job with the narration, Karim.
What a great shot at 12:31 along with plenty other places. Just dove here a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed your video taking me right back
