Key Largo Next Weekend!!

Lets hope you guys get a pass from Ivan!!! If it goes as expected into the gulf, do you think the seas will calm down enough to get dives in on 9/18 - 20?? This is my first trip to Key Largo - really looking forward to a visit to the Spiegel Grove!!!

It looks like we'll get some wind and waves today and tomorrow... then things will begin to settle down. Check out the "Molasses Reef" link via our "Weather" page at www.BlueWaterDiver.net for the latest local marine forecast.

Deeper sites (including the Spiegel Grove, Duane, and Bibb) are generally less affected by wind and waves than are the shallows.

I recommend staying in Tavernier....the Keys motel..with Divers City basically right next to it. the motel is cheap and nice/clean and the dive operator is good, and not a cattle boat either and will take you whereever you want. Barbara is the owner of this place.

I have been told that there is no places to shore dive. I understand that it stays shallow for quite a while when going out to sea. Are there not any reefs off the shore that are in the 10-15 ft range?

No.

Brent, did any boats go out today?
I would doubt there are many paying customers around.
Give us an update on conditions once boats start going out again.

Key Largo has been like a ghost town. I'll post conditions as soon as we get back out there. It looks as though things will begin to improve tomorrow.
