Comments
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.
