Thinking of diving keys...info needed

[Mark Y]

Depends are where you want to go... Key West from Key Largo is about 2 hrs. If you really want the scoop, call/drop-by Ryan Bonnema at Going Under Dive Center, he was a recent instructor down near Key West... very, very knowledgable re: Keys diving.

I've dove with Aquanuts & Horizon Divers (both near/in Key Largo)... they are cattle boats, though, and the second dive for the day is a pretty unimpressive, shallow reef dive... Both went to the 510' artificial reef 'Spiegle Grove', a really cool dive... it also has the Bibe & Duane wrecks, Christ of the Abyss and other sites... there is another dive outfit you might want to try, Quiessence (spelling???), they run small boats, go wherever you want, have nitrox available (and I know some folks who dove with them and really liked them).

They only place I've stayed is Kelly's on the Bay (I think) which coexists with Aquanuts... not a really fancy place but it is next to the Hobo Cafe... had some good times there!

There a lot of fun dives around Ft. Lauderdale & Pompano Beach as well.

Hope this helps! Save Diving!
