    NJ dive ops recommendations (Ditto Key Largo)

    Broad topic to be sure. However... I'm in the Atlantic City area and have gone out with Atlantic Divers and American Diving Supply (formerly ECDS). Been on their and others' and my boats from Cape May to Brielle, just not recently. Any thoughts on ops and boats in that area. Also, plans include...

    Key Largo (and NJ) recommendations

    Broad topic to be sure. However... Plans include heading down to Key Largo in the next few months after a two year absence. Looking for recommendations/comments for dive ops. Recollection has Conch Republic Divers and Quiescence among the best. Wondering about Ocean Divers and HMS Minnow (and...

    What ever happened to Key Largo?

    Haven't been to the Keys in 18 months and wondering what's changed. What I think I know: Scuba-Do was on the ropes and is now, apparently, Tango Uniform. Never was the same after Tony & Laurie left. Ocean Divers had recently changed management/owners and seemed to have a different personality...

    Diving in Key Largo, 8/22-25

    I'll be at MM100 during those dates, diving three out of those four days. At dive ops located in the canal (I'm sans transport). Just wondering if any SB'ers were going to be there at that time. Just wondering....

    Spirit Airlines checked bag weight change

    Just noticed Ben reduced their weight limit from 50 to 40 pounds for a checked bag. It'll cost an extra $25 for a 41-50 pound bag. If it's 51-70 pounds the additional fee is $50. That's in addition to the "regular" baggage fees, $18-$28 for the first checked bag. Might be a good thing to be...

    Boynton Beach & Jupiter this weekend

    First, an apology; I'm arriving tomorrow for a few days of diving. (My counselor says this is not a litigatious act.) Anyway, the waves are forecast for 3-5's Saturday and 4-6's Sunday. Or vice versa. Garden variety NJ diving but E-ticket stuff for gentler, kindler FL operations. I'm diving with...

    K.L. trip report (with appropriate asides)

    Spent Saturday through yesterday diving. Four trips with Conch Republic, two with Scuba Do. Brenda and her people run a fantastic op. Can't say enough good things about her (and them too). Although she did make one mistake; said I hadn't been diving with them since last August, according to her...

    Oklahoma City

    I've incurred the wrath of my masters and drawn a two week stint in OKC starting tomorrow. Given a weekend off (4/24-25) for good behavior, I'd like to experience the best that OKC has to offer; restaurants, entertainment, flea markets, diversions, scuba shops (I may buy something), etc. Any...

    Yet another K.L. trip report

    OK. So Spirit AGAIN surprised us all and got us to the church on time. Went out with Jeff on the HMS Minnow last Wednesday (10/28) AM. Jeff did his usual outstanding job delivering the goods. Three dives; a Duane and two drifts. The Duane was a little cranky with parasite drag for the...

    What are the current water conditions off Key Largo?

    I'll be diving in the Key Largo/Tavernier area Saturday through Wednesday (8/15-18) and wondered what kind of bottom temps are being reported on the Spiegel, Eagle and Duane. Four weeks ago it was 85-87 on the surface and 20 degrees cooler at 100'. Just trying to figure which wetsuit to pack...

    Trip Report - Key Largo 7/12-15 (wordy)

    The following being a complete log of my trip to the best of my memory: As Spirit arrived in FLL early Sunday A.M. I beat feet for K.L. post haste arriving at CRD in time for their PM dive. Both boats were full thus rendering any chance of meeting SB'ers nil. Did paperwork for the next day and...

    Key Largo trip report - mostly subjective. Mostly.

    5/24, Silent World: AM trip - Duane/S.G. Reported to shop @ 8AM for sign-in. Took about 25 minutes. Then drove to the boat and got N2 tanks. About a dozen people on the boat. Left the dock @ 9:10. Seas 2' with occasional 3's. Duane had negligible current. Viz fairly good. Temp @ 100-120' about...

    Dive-Boynton>Deerfield 10/21 afternoon

    I’m looking for a dive operator somewhere between the Boynton Beach and Deerfield Beach areas who’s going out on Tuesday afternoon, 10/21, and has a seat available. Before calling every op I’m posting this in the hope that one of you local SB’ers may know of one. Any depth above, oh 130', is OK...

    An airline question, sort of...

    FLL-Key Largo trip report - kinda

    Went out with Parrot Island in the Pompano area, Florida Keys Diver Center, Conch Republic Divers and HMS Minnow. Conch Republic was up to their usual standards. Minnow was fantastic, like always. Conditions started out fairly good and got better over the days. Salvaged an AL80, a dive flag and...

    Key Largo update - question

    I'll be heading south to Key Largo early on Sunday, 6/1. Has the road work between Florida City and Key Largo been causing any delays? And, what's the latest report on sea lice in the Key Largo area? TIA, Jack
