I went to Key West last January as a last-minute dive trip.
ALL of the dive operators who were open and operating at the time blatantly lied to me about conditions and their dive trips.
ALL of the dive operators (all I called them all) said they were going out twice daily and invited me to come down and dive with them. Once I arrived in Key West I discovered that, due to poor visbility and rough seas, only a couple of operators had actually been leaving the dock for the past week. Visibility was about 10 feet on the shallow reefs.
NUMEROUS dive operators told me they were doing night and wreck dives. Once I arrived in Key West, NONE of the operators had done any wreck or night dives in the past week due to the conditions.
One dive operator promised me a wreck dive, which was only reason I went out on the boat. I told them I have dove at the same shallow reef location for three days in a row and would not go back there. Once on the boat, they went to the SAME shallow reef and refused to refund my money. (I wish I could remember which operator it was, because I would tell you their name. They were off of Front Street near the Aquarium.)
Every day, ALL of the dive operators said they were going diving, but when I arrived at their shop they had already cancelled. I called around and drove around Key West every day to find the ONE boat that was actually leaving the dock.
KEY WEST SUCKS.
ALL OF THE KEY WEST DIVE OPERATORS SUCK.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
