My wife and I are going to the Keys next summer and we have three weeks to spend in the area. We're novice divers, we should have close to 50 dives by then. How should we budget our time?
We will definitely spend a week with the extended family in Marathon Key, and I am assuming that we can dive Key Largo, Key West, and points in between. We will probably go diving 4 - 5 days of that week. We also have heard of some fabulous diving elsewhere in the Caribbean, like Bonaire, St, Eustasis, and Turks & Caicos -- not that we can afford to go to all of them. Right now we're just trying to figure out how long to make reservs for in the Keys. Given that we have three weeks total, in summer, and we're from CA so likely we will not get back any time soon, how much time should we budget for the Keys portion of our stay? Is diving there so fabulous that we should spend three weeks? Or not as good as compared to other portions of the Caribbean?
We have dived in Hawaii (nice!), in Zanzibar (FANTASTIC!), and here in cold California waters (we're trying to get used to it).
Thanks,
Bill
