In June 2001, it was towed to undergo an elaborate cleaning process and 11 months later was relocated off Key Largo. On May 17, 2002, the Spiegel Grove unexpectedly sank and rolled over about six hours before its intended scuttling. Because of an exceptional safety plan, there were no injuries. Resolve Marine Group finished scuttling the ship on it side June 10, 2002. That’s where it stayed until Hurricane Dennis waves helped to finish the job correctly.

    Fun Fact: Blacktip reef sharks are viviparous — producing live pups instead of eggs — and give birth to up to 10 pups each year. The pups reach maturity at an average age of about 4 years old for males and 7 years old for females. Most live to 13 years of age, sometimes longer.

    We are out here in this morning in the mangroves participating in a Dive Against Debris trip! The staff and guests are working hard to help clean up our mangroves and create a better environment for all of its inhabitants! They’ve been finding all sorts of debris! It’s important to do our part to keep our Keys beautiful and thriving! If you would like to get involved with one of our Dive Against Debris Trips or learn more about our efforts, please call the shop to find out how! Fun Fact: Early Spanish settlers in the New World used the salty leaves of mangrove trees to flavor their foods. Later settlers ground up mangrove bark and used it to brew medicinal teas.

    Fun Fact: While at rest, a moray will slowly open and close its jaws. At first glance, this looks like a “back off” warning to other creatures, but in reality, it’s anything but. Normal fish have bony gill covers on their sides. By constantly opening and shutting these, water is forced over the internal gill chamber, allowing the animal to breathe.

This slime contains various toxins, including one which destroys red blood cells. The goo also dramatically changes the fish’s appearance. While green morays are really a drab shade of brown, the gunk’s yellowish tint gives them a more vibrant hue.
