August = sunny days and open season resulting in lobster for dinner every night.
October = cold weather and funny looking people in crowded Key West.

How about early fall? Cannot do August as I already have a week long trip to Akumal, Mexico planned and paid for. (Funny enough, the only refundable part is the airline tickets! LOL. Little perks of working for your travel!) But, I wouldn't give that up for a trip that's so easy for me to make.
If we can do mid to late Sept, that would be fine with me too. Otherwise, if there's enough interest in two trips, October for Fantasy Fest would be best for my sister and I. (And I'd LOVE to meet everyone in FLL or MIA and drive over! Save on rental car costs!)

October also works best, then I can adctually AFFORD to go! (Try desperately not to use my lone credit card...trying to be a good girl!)
The water was 75??? Sounds wonderful! (Coming from someone who keeps buying blocks of ice to throw in her kiddie pool to cool it off!) And 95? Bit muggy I'm sure, but I'll take it!
WHo else is in for October????

To date it looks like it's Aquasport, Scuba Kristey and Juls. I found you a place for $1000.00 for 11 days 20 miles from Key West. Thats 333.00 each and if you get 3 more divers it will be $166.00 each. That is a little over 16.00 a day! You will never find it cheaper or closer to Key West. See my post that has cheap dive digs hyperlinked. Each of you should give the lady your credit card numbers individually for 1/3 and if you don't make it you need to sell your 1/3 to someone else. Each of you find a dive buddy or bubble watching friend to go with you and you are set.

I'd love to hit the keys for a long weekend during Fantasy Fest, but any more than 4 days is pretty much out of the question.
I started diving this year when the water was 42 degrees, so I'm pretty sure that what you Floridians are calling cold water is warmer than I'm used to seeing in August. If I don't have to wear 7mil, that's bathwater.
Again, if the weekend before Halloween works out, I'm in, but if it's going to be a 7 to 11 day trip, it ain't going to happen, bargain or not.
Sharing a condo rental is fine with me.

Same with me. I will do only long weekend, so the condo bargains for 7-10 days or more are useless for me.
"How about mid sept . October will be very booked in the lower keys" - the FantasyFest was the actual purpose of this trip, besides diving, wasn't it?
