I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not so i will apologize now if it's misplaced.
Anyhow, I'm coming down "solo" to key Largo July 13-19th. Now while i have been down there a few times already it was for training purposes and i dove with a particular shop in the area. This is in no way a knock against them as they have been great, just costly.
This time is strictly for pleasure.
So what I'm searching for is a shop that can cater to a solo AOW diver as far as accommodations and diving go. I do realize that most shop dives arent guided but there are a few that are. I am a safety conscious diver but I still feel much more at ease with an experienced diver along for the dive.
The thing is that while I'm no cheapskate if I dive with the shop I normally dive with it will cost me roughly $300/daily for a guide and an am/afternoon dive. Multiply this by 4 and I'm looking at $1200 plus whatever tipping is involved. This does not include my accommodations which are another $100 per night.
Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to email me direct if you wish so as not to create a stir.
