Conditions in the Keys? - Suggested Boats.

mcgowman · Sep 28, 2004

Hi all,

I'd like to go to the Keys this weekend for a little diving (getting tired of boarding up the house). Does anybody know how the conditions are lately? How's the viz? Is it churned up at all?

Thanks!

Dont know the conditions, but we really liked diving with Island Ventures - they really were no stress and had a nice fast boat, also had a good trip with Florida Keys Dive Centre - they were a little funny about scratching their new boat though! Others really like Tavernier Dive Centre - although i wasnt completely satisfied on that trip.

Give Cpt. Doug Morgan a call in Marathon Florida (305-289-0905) its at mile marker 50. He will know the conditions and he is excellent at finding great vis and has an excellent boat.

we have had good experiences in the past with blue water diver... havent been there in a while but I was actually talking to my wife about going down there next month probably for a day or two. :10:

They always have had reasonable prices also and dont put too many people in the boat.

peace

are good. 1-2' seas, with 40-70' of visibility today. We're planning trips from tomorrow afternoon through the weekend. You're more than welcome to join us!

I also like divers city. Small to medium size boat, never crowded, let you dive where you want, drift, reef, wreck, tech, whatever. The best part is they DON'T LIMIT BOTTOM TIME!!! www.diverscityusa.com. In Tavernier. I will be there on Oct 6-10. Room on boat. 3 tank trips on 8th and 9th...

I have also used Horizon Divers. Very nice folks but not as flexible.
