Where do boats on the bayside pass through the keys to the ocean? Is the trip time out to the reef considerably longer for some of these ops?

Well in Key Largo there is only one bayside op and that is IslandVentures. No the trip is not any longer. Where they leave the canal the leads to the atlantic is only a few 1000 feet south of there dock. Since there a little further north then the 50 boats at mile marker 100 the have quicker access to the reefs that the boats don't usually go to. They are a lot nicer and full of life and not beat up like say dryrocks or molasses reef.

There is more than one op on the bayside. Amy slates,Pirate divers and Island ventures.
The trip is about and additional 20-25 minutes thru Adams Cut and South sound creek.
I would put Molasses reef up against any reef in the Keys but that is my 2 cents.(Going there today)

The Marvin D. Adams waterway is around MM 103.5, more or less in the middle of Largo Sound. The effect of the waterway is not as important as the North/South location vs. the desired dive site. The further south diveops at MM100 oceanside will get to the southern sites much more quickly. The bayside dive op will probably be faster to the northern sites than the MM100 guys.
Just kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride out. Pick your dive op for other reasons.

Well I perfer Elbow reef, and train wheels. Those reef dont see near as many as the lump of crap they call molasses. I dive key largo a lot and been to many of the reefs.

Quiescence I knew they were on the bayside(services our gear) but I thought their boat was docked on the Oceanside. Were you at Molasses today it was fantastic!
