Sorry, it came from their current Captain and a recent Instructor who just left.
-might have been outdated info, I was told it was current this week. But you know how people sometimes embellish.

Might be a good idea to disregard this post. We are fully functional and operational.
Also, were a GUE facility, IANTD platinum facility and a TDI five star center. Were more tech than anyone else in the keys. Slates is not a tech center
Yeah I am hopefully (depends on the weather) diving with SW Monday PM and Tuesday.
Chris, thoughts on the weather/dive conditions?
Where ever the information came from it is not correct. We do have one Island Hopper out of service at this time. One was out for one day for a coast guard inspection that all commercial boats have to get done each year.
In addition to the two island hoppers we also have a six pack vessel. We have boats out on this water as I write this enjoying a wonderful day in the waters of Key Largo.
As an additional note of clarification we have multiple captains here, not just one.

I would not go with Horizon Divers again, at least during that time of the year. I was ready to go out to the Spiegel Grove last week, and ther were three divers including myself, which is the minimum limit. The weather was rough, but doable according to the other dive boat operators in the area. It was pretty clear to me that the "Captain" wasn't too enthusiastic about working that day. I believe that he probably didn't think that the tips would be worth it. Customer satisfaction didn't seem to be high on their list in my opinion. The remainder of my dives in the area were with Conch Republic Divers who are "rebreather friendly" by the way. They were equipped with the boosters, gas, personel, and analyzers to tech fill high pressure tanks. A lot of dive operators seem to get a little freaked when you tell them you have a rebreather.
So the captain that told me one boat sank, and the other boat had an engine sucking salt water... he was wrong about both of those things?
Or he was right about both of those things... but the issue has been resolved?

Peter,
The exact nature of what repairs where conducted on what boats and why are not something worth having a drawn out conversation about. We have more then enough boats to service our customer base.
If you have specific questions about the boats please feel free to give us a ring at the shop.
