Any hotel or dive operation recommendations for Key Largo?

I prefer diving with DiversCity,USA while in the Keys. They have a nice boat and will take 10 divers on it. I think they are pretty accommodating and helpful and are willing to take "requests" as long as the conditions are decent. They offer aluminum and steel tanks and will store your gear for you overnight.
I used to stay at Rick's Place, which was across the street from DiversCity. DC has moved up to Gilbert's which is located right at the draw bridge, so it would not be very convenient to stay at Rick's. Gilbert's has a resort, but I've never stayed there.
The one down side to using DC and staying at Gilbert's is that it' not very close to the main Key Largo "attractions" like Hobo's or Mrs. Mac's. Howerver,there is a pretty good restaraunt close to Gilbert's called the Buzzard's Roost.
Hope this helps!
