Thanks for the reply, drrich2 - all good stuff.At least in Key Largo you may find a variety of options; narrowing your preferences down may help. I enjoyed diving with Rainbow Reef Dive Center (only one there I dove with) years ago; it was a pretty big boat, and provided guide service (at times 2 guides so groups weren't too large) at no added charge.
I've seen people speak well of Quiescence in the past, mentioning smaller boats and fewer passengers, no free guide service but then not everybody wants that.
What I'm getting at, is do you prefer larger boats, or smaller '6-pack' type operators, and does guide service matter?
I've read several testimonials about the excellence of Conch Republic Divers on Scuba Board over the years. To maintain such a fine reputation is an accomplishment.

Big or small - boat size not a great concern. Went out w/RR once many years ago when they had a kiosk/shack right by the boats at the MM100 canal. Nice op, friendly folks. Guide service not really of interest.
Quiescence hasn't changed in 25 years, AFA I can tell - still fantastic. Many experiences with them - all great! I'll be looking them up.
Ditto CRD; I'll be going out with them as well. Did my first "deep" dive, ~110' with them on the Eagle a quarter century ago (before it got bent - LOL).
Again, thanks.
