Hmm, I wonder if Miami or Pompano would be interested (or able) for a last minute takeover...?
Today, Key West isn't a compelling dive destination... Yea, I suppose you can dive there, but unless your hitting the Wilkes, or on the way to the Dry Tortugas, its not a destination... The Vandenberg would have made it a must visit locale... They really missing out on alot of tourism dollars here... just ask the folks in Pensacola who benefitted from the 'O'...
defintely, KW isn't really where I go for DIVING...upper middle Keys...yeah...but most of the reefs down there aren't as nice as the upper Keys. (which is only what I've been divin on down there)
Wreck wise, the Tug is purportedly turning into dust, and the Cayman I hear isn't the greatest dive (and I've not seen too many of the ops advertising for it either)
If the Vandy was sunk, then KW would pick up from a diving perspective, and all that "wreck trail" stuff could cause some killer trips for the recreational people. I can't believe that they aren't embracing it more...
