Hi - We are a diving couple form Canada that stumbled across this board and decided to make our first post. We are heading down to FLA at the end of Feb. We will be travelling around a bit and are looking for some dive recommendations. Important to us is a friendly crew that puts safety first. Also, since we are still wet behind the ears with only about a dozen dives behind us - diving with a DM is a definate plus (although we hear that is rare in the Keys). We have our own gear and only require tanks and wieghts.
The only real "must do" for us is the Spiegel and the Christ statue!
We are looking for recommendations based on this for both operators or sites!!
Key Largo - we are staying at the Travelodge- 2 days diving here.
Then Key west - Quality Inn - 2 days diving there.
Then a few days off and up to Tampa. We were then going to head to Crystal River to dive with the Manatees - just one day.
Then we have about 3 days with nothing planned before we catch a flight out of Ft Lauderdale - and are open to anygood diving suggestions - we were thinking of going back down to Largo as we are told that is the best.
Well - I guess thats a LOT to ask for a first post! Please feel free to comment on any or all - and THANKS!!
By the way - great board!
