Six-pack diving Looe Key and the Adolphus Busch

[buckled plates]

Hi all,

We'll soon start our second season running a six-pack from Big Pine Key to Looe Key NMS, the Adolphus Busch, and American Shoals. We operate from January to September and cater to couples/threesomes. We provide greater flexibility in trip scheduling, dive planning, and access to dive sites and activities (lobstering, spearfishing, tec/rec, etc.) than the headboats in Big Pine Key generally provide, and our fees are competitive. Our service is rated 5-stars on Trip Advisor. If you're interested in a small boat dive charter to any of the sites mentioned, please keep us in mind: www.dieuleveutdiving.com

Thanks!

You are exactly the type of operator we would love to dive with. Unfortunately, we are planning a trip for mid-November, so it sounds like you might not be an option
Any recommendations on the other operators? They all look like cattle boats. Interested in both the Adolphus Busch and Looe Key.

The months of September through November are the best months of the year for diving in the Keys. The summer vacationers and thunderstorms are gone, the winter folks (and winter winds) have yet to arrive and - unless hurricanes have been buggering the scene - its a fabulous time for diving. Because of all those other reasons, however, business is slow so we usually head north for family and the holidays. Try Looe Key Reef Resort on Ramrod Key. They have a six-pack boat, but I believe they run it only as a charter (in other words, you'd have to fill the boat to make it economical per diver). Unlike most six-packs, our whole business is catering to parties of two or three, so our pricing is competitive with the cattleboats on a per diver basis.

Don't give up though! Remember, it's a slow season so even the cattleboats aren't as "cattel-ly," and you'll likely have some great diving!

Do you have your January calendar set yet?

January's open from the 15th on. Usually start to fill around Christmas, and busy season begins by spring break/Easter. We can do lot's of things the headboats serving the area can't do like combo wreck/reef dives, three tank dives, lionfish hunts, spearfishing, etc. We do one trip per day and don't put limits on dive time (other than the NDL and a 500 PSI min at end of dive). Professional service, great for buddies or couples, private charters at a price most folks can afford. Please keep us in mind and hope to see you next season!

Do you operate through the end of September? Could not tell . . .

We close for September after Labor Day and we're booked until then. Possibly open for an extended charter any time after Sept. Call to discuss if that's in your plans.
