I going to go ahead and say it. Florida FWC pretty much ride around in their boats with a blank rule book. If they feel you are in the wrong - they write the rule in their book - and guess what? You are wrong.
If you are feeling adventurous - I also recommend arguing with them. They write...
Wow, we have dove from our boat in the Keys more times then I can remember without someone staying topside. We are however very consious of the weather - if its crap, we dont go (we live in Florida... why bother with a crappy day when a good one is around the corner!). It is always in the back...
Hey Gary - Im probably headed down to KW for FF the 28 thru the 31. I would like to get the Vandenburg under my proverbial dive belt! Probably going to be a crazy week and I would imagine everyone will be booked up - but I thought Id ask.
Im a semi local - my Parents own and run the Key Largo...
Huh - makes complete sense now. It is frustrating to pull up and find fisherman hooked to mooring balls, they dont typically hang around long when my crew shows up though...
We had a hand held GPS back when we were trying the TB (friends boat). Thats probably why I kept missing it. My tech...
They said they were going to, that was sept of 07 so I doubt it ever happened.
What good is a buoy 15' below the surface? They told me the same thing. How would one go about hooking into a buoy 15' below the surface? Dive and hook?
I havent dove with Captain Hooks (have my own boat), but I rented gear there a few times and got supplies - really nice people there and they did say they put a DM in the water. It came up when we were talking about the location of the Thunderbolt. There was no mooring ball at the Thunderbolt...
I second Rainbow Reef - they certified my daughter and niece, both of which are 15 and 16 yrs old. They took the time to do it right. Both of them fell in love with Jack and I still hear about him every day - english kid with blond hair that works for Rainbow Reef.
Sorry you had a bad experience Mike - I know my family would have done anything to make it right by you and yours if they would have known.
Fish eye view - the Crib is a risk for sure! Its close proximity to the boat ramp makes it a great place on a rainy afternoon to sit and watch tourists...
Whatever Mike_S
Key Largo Conch House (formally the Key Largo Coffee House) is my parents place, so I'm a bit biased - BUT I have been in and around the Key Largo area for the last 10 years and I have to say hands down best food for the best price. My family puts their heart and soul into that...
I am headed to a boat show in Tampa in September. I have friends that are sales reps for various manufacturers - I think it will be a long day as they all know Im in the market.
I am considering a new boat purchase in March. I am looking for a boat for me - not charter. Diving seems to be taking up more and more of my time on the water, so I am considering a boat that is more geared toward divers. How about some suggestions? I am considering inside the 20' to 30' range...
I finally got around to purchasing my own gear after years of frustrating rentals. Maybe this is a silly question, but when a regulator is outside of my mouth and ends up upside down in the water - it blasts air out until its flipped over. Why? Can that be controlled? I never really cared with...
Anyone in the area have extra room in their own boat? I have gas money and a cooler, and Ive been a responsible boat owner and or rider my entire life, so I can help with trailering, driving, maintenance, clean up - what ever! And I am really interested in spearing and lobstering, but a...
Ill be down there tonight through Sunday and diving every day off our own boat if your interested.
Why are you interested in my mom? Ha ha, thats funny (in your profile).
Dont forget to go to Key Largo Conch House (formally Key Largo Coffee House) mm 100.5 across from wafflehouse - its my...
Ill be down there too. Heading down tonight. Dont forget to go to the Key Largo Conch House (formally the Key Largo Coffeehouse) across from Wafflehouse mm 100.5. Its my parents place.
