Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / August 2008Diving Florida Keys - Recommendations?
Hi! I've read many of the posts here about outfits to dive with in the Keys. We've now narrowed our choice down to three and I was wondering if anyone could comment on these three operations - or - if we're way off-base to steer us to recommend a different outfit. We're interested in diving the Duane, Spiegel Grove, and Eagle. However, this will be our first time diving in the keys so recommendations are welcomed. We've narrowed our choice of outfits down to Rainbow Reef, Island Ventures, and Paradise Charters. Does anyone have any feed back on these three operators? I have been with Conch Republic when there was only 3 on the boat, the other two were my brother and son -great times! Having been with Amy Slate, I wouldn't go back. Good for convenience but mixing divers and snorkellers is a pain! Have Fun Martin > Hi! I've read many of the posts here about outfits to dive with in the > Keys.

I move my boat to Key Largo every summer for a month or so and I have seen paradise divers go out for the last 10 years... Small boat (I think a 6-pack but not sure). Never packed, leaves from the Holiday Inn in Key largo. Close to the grove and the duane. Eagle is a bit further south (Near Islamorada)so you may choose to use two different dive ops. not sure if one will fit the bill. > I have been with Conch Republic when there was only 3 on the boat, the other > two were my brother and son -great times!

I can tell you that none of them are among the most frequently recommended in this group. In the northern Keys, we most often recommend Conch Republic Divers for those that don't mind larger boat loads and Quiesence for those that prefer smaller ones. Hopefully, somebody will have more factual data on the ones you're choosing between. Good luck. Lee My family and frineds have chosen Capt Brian Berry at Island Venture in Key Largo for the BEST wreck diving with ALWAYS small crowds, NO STRESS Diving. Check out his site and tell him Pat Cook said Hi: http://www.islandventure.com/ >Hi! I've read many of the posts here about outfits to dive with in the >Keys.

Rainbow Reef is good, smaller groups, nice Islamorada location, OK boats, close to reefs. Haven't used the others. I have used Conch Republic, as mentioned in the other post, bit of a cattle boat, and can't seem to hold a schedule. Quiesence is good also but to far up in Key Largo for me. I'm an Islamorada type ! Sorry, can't help you with Island Ventures or Paradise Charters....think they are in Key Largo..... > Hi! I've read many of the posts here about outfits to dive with in the > Keys.

In my opinion, there is no where in the Keys to do Great diving. You can see the same thing if you snorkel!!!! >> Hi! I've read many of the posts here about outfits to dive with in >> the Keys.

Lee ditto....clueless........OTOH, there is a certain 'sameness' to most of the carribean diving, but that doesn't stop me from living in Islamorada and loving the diving/fishing/life style and I'm not ignorant of diving the rest of the world..... > >> Hi!
