Gotta agree w/ jimw But if I came all the way from Sweden, and got blown out - and my alternative was the BHB (fantastic dive if you live in S. FL - not so fantastic if you trucked all the way from Sweden) - well, I would be disappointed. And the weather in Feb is just too plain iffy...

Its one of those dives you should do once - really are many better sites at Pennekamp You need one of the northern based charters in Key Largo - Like Slates Atlantis Dive Center; easy google search will get you more names too Its popular for many reasons and often is visited by the snorkle...

Yup - one of mine too - if you are coming to the board for assistance, "Mother may I" is NOT the way to go...... Don't make me do research to answer your question. In this case, though, I can't fault the OP - its there, right where Debby said!

Gotta 2nd the info above - while the diving is good in the Keys and your profile suggests a new diver, you are close to the best diving in the state - PB County. Check out "Scuba Club of the Palm Beaches" (they do a great job w/ new divers, and they have the nicest facility of any dive...

Really beautiful conditions - and really not typical

Your average depth in Key Largo - unless you are doing the deep wrecks (Speigel Grove, Bibb, Dwayne, Eagle) is 30 - 40' so the surface interval tend to be short. You don't need much surface if your average depth is very shallow - plus many operators have 2 trips per day so they need to get...

Amazing what a little reading will yield - sorry; could not resist; its in the same forum! Check this current thread - you wife may be more comfortable w/ Rainbow Reef as they provide dive guides included in the charter price Key Largo Dive Boats with Guides

LOL - Ya beat me Debby! I think he can make it if his flight is on time, but too much running - RJ is his best bet IMO - he is not going to get off the plane and step into his rental car at 10:01 - not in MIA or FLL - maybe West Palm, which I now check regularly, even driving an hour from...

Enjoy your trip :D

Never seen an industry with so many smart people who do so many stupid things. I NEVER offer to give up my seat for exactly the same reasons - give me a 1st class ticket to use anytime w/out ANY restrictions, anywhere they fly, and maybe we can talk - when I've suggested this option at the...

Debby - we have done the St Croix trip a few Thanksgivings ago - bottom line - if you have the option of a direct, non stop, take it - sure MIA can be a pain - like FLL is paradise?? - but take the direct - no need to stop in St Thomas (although its a beautiful island) or San Juan - go direct...

Very True Yup - makes sense to me Which is located in (drum roll.....) LOOE KEY - about 25 - 30 min's north. Agree 100% - everyone should do it once (its become sorta a "notch on the belt" site) - last year the conditions were really bad when we did it - flat calm seas, no recent...

Coming from Alberta, you should find the water in KL the end of Oct like bathwater - you will be fine w/ a 3mm, especially given the shallow depths of most of the sites. PS I go w/ what I'm comfortable wearing - in 50 degree water, I'd freeze in a 7mm - if you are SUPER sensitive, and have...

Very nice - how were the no see 'em's? My wife is super sensitive so we have not been to Roatan Have you been to Cozumel - if so, how would you compare the diving?

Carmen, you gotta start using I 95 vs US 1 :D:rofl3::D From Coconut Grove to Boynton, takes me +/- 50 mins - to the place Brian does not want me to mention (Jupiter) - 1.20/1.30 tops :shocked2: (from your house be a few min's less)

Su Su Su Sorrrrrry :rofl3: :D Then you have not gone to the "right" spots - the "Hole" can be a world class dive, but its deep (135') and would not be #1 b/c it can be hit or miss - literaly Tunnels, Cap't Mikes, Area 51, Spadefish, and some others are really great - I suspect you have not...

All great points - but you are all wrong - its Jupiter for the best diving (and I live in Miami) :D:rofl3::D Seriously, we are truly blessed to live in an area that has such fantastic diving - many have to "settle" for a lake, or a quarry for local diving - we have Jupiter - the Keys - again...

Temp can be in the high 60's, but normally is in the low 70's (71 - 73 average). Issue you face is winter - December - April can bring strong cold fronts which result in high winds and rough seas - you stand a chance of these conditions. If this winter is anything like last winter, a very...

Yup - Debby is correct I think Jupiter is fantastic - but I'd still tell you to go back to Cozumel - Dominica, Little Cayman, St Croix (for the "Buy American" contingency), Grand Turk also merit consideration. From where you live, Hawaii (Maui, Kaui, Hawaii). Glad you got the chance to...
