Need a little help,planning to dive in keys.
I would like some imput on dive charters as well as best reefs to go to.
I like alot of sea life as well as relics.
:D
 
I would say hit up Bluewater Divers.

www.bluewaterdiver.net

A friend and I went there when we were in the Keys, and they were great to us. Their prices were very reasonable, they went wherever we wanted, and even went out with just the two of us on the boat. Brent is on this board I believe, so you can probably find him if you have any specific questions
 
In Key Largo: Ocean Divers and Quiescence

In Tavernier (worth the extra 15 min drive): Conch Republic Divers

Operators in Key Largo go to Molasses and French reefs mostly both are great.

If you post/search in the Florida regional sub forum you will see a lot of relevant info.

Cheers.

Don't forget Silent World in Key Largo, and, oh yes, especially after they have been so nice to us, we must include Crystal Clear, with several locations up and down the Keys
 
I'll betcha 95% of the time any of the operators will be great. Everyone has their favorites, and probably no one, or nearly no one, has used all the operators down there. Chances are the bad ones are eliminated very quickly.

Look at the variables. Size of boat, price, area of service. There are some really nice reefs that Tavanier charters don't go to because they are too far and there are some nice wrecks that Key Largo operators don't go to for the same reason. And a more expensive dive cost may not mean a better boat or better service (unless you consider snacks and carbonated drinks "service"). Often a higher price is simply an offset of having further to travel to the dive site.

I've dove with three charters off Key Largo, and I prefer SilentWorld. Smallish boats, very reasonably priced when you do mutilple dives with them ($45 for a two-tank dive with air when you commit to 5 two-tank dives), but you'll have to bring your own snacks and carbonated drinks! Have not dove with any charters off Key Largo.
 
I too have used Quiescence out of Key Largo.
 
Hey Pat! Coming back in two months...yippeee!
