    Key Largo Diveshop Recommendations for Beginner

    Agree 100%. It can blow and be cold for days on end so no boat can go out. It can be calm & warm too. The Duval Crawl is a great alternative.

    Question Do you cave dive exactly the way you teach people to cave dive? Do you cave dive the way you were taught?

    Both of those lines begin at a "Safe Exit Point" so IAW training standards a line is not needed (Except at night). I generally have students run lines in both of those places simply to have them practice running lines UNLESS there are a lot of lines in there already. However, I agree with...

    It sucks for us when the trip sucks for our customers. It is a lose-lose situation.

    NOT TRUE. I was captain and head captain at RR for 5 years or so. There is no "Strict" schedule. There is a schedule that we try to adhere to, but it is not strict to the point of endangering divers or having the option of choosing different dive sites based on poor conditions. @FreqFlier I'd...
