We dove Looe Key with Florida Keys Reef Divers.  The dive is shallow spur
and groove formations with a maximum depth of twenty five feet.  The
abundance and diversity of the marine life was fantastic...the best I've
seen in the Caribbean.  We saw several nurse sharks, moray eels, very large
tarpon, and large groupers, parrotfish, and the usual tropicals.  It seemed
apparent to us that the preserve is accomplishing its purpose in restoring
fish life to the area.  Jim Wyatt runs a quality, service oriented
operation, and we would recommend him without hesitation.
