Hello Everyone!

I found a great ticket from Denver to Ft. Lauderdale ($160 RT) and will be going from there to KeyWest. Looking for anyone who might like to go along - or have suggestions about economy lodging and dive package or operators there.

Thanks!!!

Jeff

DenverCoJeff,

Don't know the phone number, but I've stayed at the La Patio <sp> Motel in Key West. Its the cheapest one I found where you don't have to fight the roaches for the sheets. I'm sure there are more but this one was good for us.

For diving, contact Jim Wyatt on Cudjoe Key. Reef Divers is the name of his shop ..... awesome guy. He will take good care of you.

Hi,

I'm actually going to be staying at the Youth Hostel in nice accomodations for the price.

I'll check out your friend's shop!

Thanks for the 411!

In '97 my brother and I did our PADI Rescue course with Ocean Quest in Islamorada. Pat Taylor, whose now the owner, did a fantastic job instructing us. It will be worth your time to stop in and dive with her while you are down there. They don't run cattle boats and are good for a few laughs and a couple of beers.

Here's a link to the OQ site: www.oceanquestdivecenter.com

I'm actually going to be diving in Key West and not Islamorada, although I've heard Islamorada is great. The deal was just better in Key West. As a Colorado diver, anywhere in the ocean will be a very very welcome change from inland diving!

Peace and Bubbles,

Jeff

OK, sorry I misunderstood. I've never been diving in Key West, but the food and drink are great. I've not been there in 4 years but look for Cuban restaurants, there are several of them and their food is amazing. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
