    Key West area diving- whadaya think?

    Thanks Turtlediver! Great info! Yup, a Fantasy Fest Halloween was exactly what I had in mind for next year, and thought perhaps I'd get some diving in as well. A shed a tear for you there in Lubbock- I grew up there in the 60s and 70s then fled, never to return. Did you possibly know my...
