$175 does seem a little steep.

$175 ??? yep that seems high. it doesn't really say exactly how many dives you get on this deal on their website also, but it appears to be the Duane, Eagle, and the Grove.
What is the average 2 tanks dive cost now in Key Largo (with tanks/weights)? around $65? so $175 seems a little steep for a 3 tank dive. (in my opinion.)

Unless they are throwing in the Tri-mix, that is a rip off! They are probably just felling out the waters seeing how many suckers are out there.

For the distance from Slates dock to the Eagle, I'd expect a $10-20 fuel surcharge, but that's why I dive the Eagle out of Taverneir. If anyone is diving air on the wrecks, then there are a couple of long SIs, and I don't see Nitrox being included. Lunch...?
No, I just can't see it...?

did it once.. .. convenient for someone who wants to dive the 3 deep wrecks and does not have an entire weekend to do them or know when they might get back down to largo. By the time you throw in the extra expense of meals, hotels, travel and trying to find a charter who will take you to the wreck you want on the day you want (and not change their mind on the day of diving) this becomes a nice alternative. Don't need to do it again but we dove the Eagle, bib and duane (grove had just righted itself and was off limits) and had a great time..

Well... I think that might be the only reason. Otherwise it's sometime hard to get a boat to go to the wreck you want them to go to.
still way overpriced.
