I have used them, it has been several years 1990 and 1991 (91 may be
wrong was right before the hurricane hit homestead - may have been a
different year)
I wasn't impressed with them. Many divers - too many for the boat -
this happened several times on both dive trips. If I has a choice I
would probably use someone else. A lot can change in 12 years though.

I have been out with them...They are fine if you like a big boat full of
people.

Next door to them..literally 30 feet away is www.scuba-do.com -- That
boat carries 10 or so. There is also www.keylargodiving.com - a couple of
miles away...boats carry maximum of 6.

All go to the same dive sites.

NO WAY! Go with: http://www.islandventure.com/
Brian is an awesome Captain/Instructor Guide, you load right from your
car to the boat (about 5ft from his dock. He is located next between
2 nice resteraunts. And his specialty is small (6-10) groups and NO
STRESS! Tell him Pat Cook recommended him. I dive with him 2-4 times
a year for the past few years. You won't be sorry!

Dove with Ocean Divers once. Won't do it again. Too many divers and
snorkelers on the boat. I've tried a few Key Largo and Islamarola operators.
I think Quiesence is the best.

Ouch. Is $60 with no equipment rental involved normal these days? Reckon
I'm going to be trailering my boat down more often than I thought.

Cheaper than ocean divers. they charge $65 for a reef dive and $70
for a wreck dive. (don't know why a wreck dive cost more. they all
moor on the same type mooring bouys)

Why they cost more is easy. They can get away with it and those people who
want to do the wreck dives will pay the extra $5.
