Fun Dive in the Keys

[dive4funOften]

The best dive I can think of in the Keys is Capt Slate's Creature Feature. He only does the dive on Friday's. The dive is in about 35ft of water. It is really awesome. They do a feeding near The City of Washington. You can pet the sharks and there are many many fish that await the feeding. You have the option of getting a really nice video also.

Places to stay with a 7 year old...hmmm.

Ocean Point Suites has two bedroom condo's that are very nice.

Have fun!

I'll bet that is tons of fun and personally, I like Spence, but I have a philosophical problem with feeding.

A couple of months ago I did a Friday AM dive with Horizon Divers that went to the City of Washington and I stumbled on to a group of people watching several nurse sharks getting fed. And while I agree with Walter, I sure did enjoy petting a shark at 30 feet below in the wild.

I am not sure I really have enough knowledge to know wether it is good or bad but I do know that I love sharks and they were so sweet to be around. However I do know that people feel very passionate about it both ways. But since the fish are so used to hearing the boat that feeds them when other boats come they usually come around. I do know that I had a student with me one time that was told not to put his hand out and did it anyway. Well you can imagine the rest of the story!

LOL, I heard about that guy getting part of his finger bitten off a couple of weeks ago when I was diving with Adventure Scuba...

so much for not harrassing the marine life!!

feeding the sharks?

 

[KeyLargoBrent]

fish feeding in Florida was illegal. Perhaps it's still legal in federal waters. Who knows?

I can't tell you if its legal, but they definitely are feeding the sharks. I've watched it twice as an "innocent" bystander.
