Looking for recomendations for a dive op in the keys

ajames54 · May 15, 2007

I've got a week to kill in mid Aug and have never been to the keys I'm pretty flexible but there are a couple points I'm interested in..

I want to spend as much of my week as possible under water, four dives a day would be perfect .. as long as I can work a night dive or two in to the mix..

They must offer nitrox, I would rather drop to ninety and spend lots of time on the way up than drop to 110 and spend under 10 minutes on a wreck (actually if they were sunk on purpose I don't care about wrecks at all).

I would like to be able to dive my air/computer/tables rather than the DMs watch.

Prefer a smaller boat (6-10) and hate cattle boats (16+)

Is there something like what I am looking for in the keys or do I need to pay up and go back to Grand Cayman?

Any help is appreciated..

If your around Key Largo.

I used Atlantis last time I was in the Keys. They have Nitrox but the boats might hold more people than you like. I had a good time with them and I'll probably use them again when I go back in July.

We were in the Keys last week and had some great dives with Cristal Clear Charters. May want to look them up.

There are plenty of posts about the different dive operators in the Key Largo area. I would suggest you do a search, check out web sites, make phone calls and then pick an operator that matches your personality and pocket book!

Quiescence runs some nice 6 packs.

If you are not wanting to do wrecks, there are not many deep reef dives that are done on a regular basis. Carysfort is one that is 60 ft.(wall) or so but Silent World is one of the few operators that will go to it. There is also an area out from the Benwood wreck that may be a little deeper (but we have not had a chance to venture over to it yet)

Give the guys at Silent World a call and let them know what you are looking for. They have a great price for a 5+trip deal and can helpyou find lodging if needed. They are a great group.
