Visiting Key Largo April 15-22nd - Looking for some wrecks and reefs.

[00wabbit]

I'll be in Key Largo for a week in April. I want to dive wrecks and reefs (mostly wrecks) I'd also like to see some sharks and goliaths but don't want to go on any feeding trips.

I would like to avoid spearfishers if possible. All dives would be in NDL and I would like Nitrox. I would also like to do a night dive.

I will be diving sidemount as well. I am planning to dive at least 3 days+1 night dive (I have to spend some time with my wife too

From my research so far I am thinking about Horizon Divers or Ocean divers. What are your thoughts? Should I look at someone else?


After that we are heading to Key West for a couple days and I want to dive the Vandenberg. Suggestions for ops here would be good too.


I will also need a buddy so if any of you are diving then and I can tag along let me know, otherwise I'll buddy up on the boat.

I dive with Conch Republic on most of my trips to the upper Keys. They have a big boat and have a staff that understands tech diving (even though you'll not exceed NDL, I think this would be important to a side mount diver). I also go out with Silent World periodically: especially if I want to dive a double dip on a wreck like the S. Grove. Their boat is smaller but the crew is also Tech savvy.

In Key West I usually use Captain's Corner

Good to know. I would like a bigger boat.

I will be staying in Geiger Key for the Key West portion. Do any ops operate out of the Geiger Key Marina? I will be staying there in my RV.
