Key Largo Tank rental?

[Steve_C]

A buddy and I will be down in Key Largo later this month for a few days. We were thinking of taking off one afternoon to dive Canon Beach looking for sea horses, nudis, or whatever else we can find out there. We would need tanks and weights.

Where is a convenient place to rent tanks and weights in the Key Largo area? Just need 2-4 tanks. Not fussy as to whether AL or steel or whatever. No problem with a deposit or minimal return pressure requirement.

Thanks

I'd consider renting the tanks within the park @ the dive shop, just a few hundred meters from cannon beach. that's about as convenient as it gets,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You cannot throw a baseball in any direction without it passing over a dive shop in the Keys.
You have lots of options.

Only a few of those many shops rent gear for use outside of their activities (boats, classes). As reef man mention, the on site dive shop probably does.

Shoot conchrandy & Coral Reef Park a PM here on SB and ask them.

As for what you will see:
My surprises have included dolphins playing in our bubbles a couple of times, a manatee, a 5 ft southern sting ray, a 7 ft nurse shark, an octopus.
Almost always lobsters, caseopia, crabs, lots of fish like sharpnosed ouffers, parrots, damsels, bristol worms. Sometimes eels, trumpetfish.
I haven't nudis or seahorses, but maybe missed them in low light viz.

Look for the WWII jeep from the D-day practice runs. It's just half a tire sticking up through the silt. Almost directly south of the big boy over the canons along the south wall.

Have fun.

Who are the shops that WILL rent gear for use outside of their activities?

Perfect. I assume we can rent some weights also.
