Spiegel Grove Exhibit on display at the History of Diving Museum
The History of Diving Museum has unveiled a new exhibit honoring the USS Spiegel Grove, giving divers the opportunity to celebrate the 15th anniversary of its sinking and it becoming a world-known artificial reef.
For a limited time, artifacts will be on display that highlight those who served on this great ship, missions it participated in, the efforts preparing her for sinking and the environmental impact she’s had on the area. See the 4th Name Plaque of Lifetime Medallion holders in addition to the special Bridge Plaque before they are installed on the ship. Individual and Keepsake Commemorative Medallion sets are available in the Museum Store. Help support this exhibit and get your medallions today.
You can also take part in special events. Join the History of Diving Museum May 17th and 18th for presentations, Spiegel dives and celebrations. Witness the installation of the plaques and participate in Fish Surveys. For more information visit History of Diving Museum, Upper Keys Artificial Reef Foundation and Key Largo Chamber.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
