Dive Conditions

Because I was diving with a Junior Diver, my profile did not include
anything over 50 feet.  There were no restrictions other than coming up
with 500 psi.

Overall Rating

I used the 2002 Edition of the Diver's Chapbook to research this week of
diving as I was taking my 13 year old grandson for his first tropical
diving.  The choice of HMS Minnow (a 6 pack boat)was absolutely perfect. 
I called several weeks ahead for reservations, which I was glad I had
done, as Capt. Jeff Jarvis will take the boat to places the first
reservationist requests. With my request for shallow dives befitting my
grandson's needs, we got what we asked for.  For six mornings of 2 tank
diving, Jeff took us to a different site each day, and to one that was a
special request from my grandson. We saw many different fish, sharks, a
turtle, scads of lobsters, spotted and green morays, as well as the usual
sponges and corals the Keys grow.  Jeff and his wife Betty were attentive
to our needs and provided a wonderful experience for my grandson (and
me!), with dive site briefings, helping with tanks, etc.  They provided
cold water, juice and fruit each day, plus on-dock lockers to store our
equipment overnight.  I can recommend the Minnow to anyone. The Holiday
Inn we stayed at was just fine and only steps away from the boat.  

Just the month before this experience, I had been diving in various sites
in the Bahamas, where the corals were covered with an algae-like growth -
very sad.  I found the corals in Key Largo to be in much better shape.
