Dave Ochs set up a week-long trip for two colleagues and me to explore the
wrecks and reefs off Southeastern Florida and Key Largo.  He booked
outstanding hotels and chartered five excellent dive boats for us.  Dave or
one of his staff (sometimes both) dove with us as we surveyed and
penetrated such wrecks as the Castor, Capt. Tony, Duane, Bib and Spiegel
Grove.  I was so impressed with Dave's services that I have arranged for
his participation in a planned Florida wreck diving expedition for New
England divers.
