Am going to FL Keys June 26 for seven days. Can you all take a look at these questions/plans and comment:
Have only dived in Coz and Aruba before. There, the dive operator included tanks/wts in the cost of the dive. Also, a DM would accompany you on the dive. In the keys, from what I can tell from websites, it is the custom to charge you for tanks, wts, and a "guide" if you want one. Do I understand this custom correctly? ( I have all equipment, incl computer, except tanks/wts)
What type of viz can I expect at that time of the year?
What type of wetsuit, if any, would be appropriate for that time of year?
I am staying at Coconut Mallory Resort and Marina in Key West. I thought I would dive with a Key West op for four days. Spend a day at Key Looe. And spend a day in Key Largo on the drive back to Miami at the end of my week. I will spend a night or two in Miami so the Largo dive will not be close to my flight home. Is this a good plan? Any recommendations for these locations would be welcome or any recommendations for alternate locations also welcome.
how is the diving around the Tortugas? Is this worth the trip out there? if so, any recommendations for a dive op?
Thanks to all
