We're diving with Key
Dives at Bud &
Mary's Marina. Here is what Key Dives says about their services -
Some have called what we do "Goochi" Diving (sorry, we
can't spell it correctly without paying for it!). We carry your gear to
the boat and set it up. We carry your gear to the stern so you do not
have to walk with the gear on your back. During your dive, we identify
any unfamiliar marine life. After the dive, we hoist the gear out of the
water so you do not have to climb out with the gear on your back. We
will break down your gear and rinse and store it for the next day of
diving. If you hire a guide, all we ask of our divers is to breathe and
kick! |
|
|
|
You are responsible for making your own hotel accommodations. There are
several places at reasonable prices on Islamorada - the Dive Coordinator
will have details as the time gets closer. |
