Dive Review of
Horizon Divers/Ramada - Key Largo in
The Continental USA/Key Largo, FL

Barbados, Cozumel, Red Sea, Islamorada, FL, Tavernier, FL

Dive Conditions

Return to boat with 500 psi  

Boat had a small table but was adequate for the number of photographers
that needed it.  Dedicated rinse bucket on board.  Crew was helpful in
handling gear while entering and exiting the water.  

Overall Rating

July and August have been good months for me for water conditions.  The
seas were flat to 1 ft.  Horizon was a great operator.  Very friendly
staff. Boat crew was great gave good safety and dive briefings. Boat rides
were comfortable and short on their 50 ft. Corinthian Catamaran (the Cheeca
View)with itd dual 225 hp mercs.  The ride was very stable and the boat
offered plenty of cover.  One geat feature is the boat's  three water entry
point's; off the bow and off each side.  Dive sites were on the shallow
side but most of them were very nice, lots of small fish, a few with
multiple nurse sharks and one (French Reef - The Big Scare) with a huge
bait ball of minnows and the largest eagle ray I've ever seen (about a 5
ft. wingspan!)  Nitrox was available (30%) for a nominal up charge.  Tank
fills weren't bad.  I averaged averaged 2977 psi over 12 dives.  Capri Suns
were available after all dives.  I stayed at the Ramada Inn which was a
bargain and  clean but pretty basic.  The location of Horizon to the Ramada
was stellar, as in right next door, but next time I'd stay at the Holiday
Inn.  A little more money but a much nicer place.  There is NO WIFI at the
Ramada and no business center to gain internet access.  They send you to
the Holiday Inn!  The Ramada offers a free continental breakfast but there
is no restaurant on the premises, but there are great restaurants nearby. 
My all time favorite on Key Largo is Buzzards Roost.  Great food, nice bar,
indoor and outdoor seating (on the water) and the coconut cake with
pineapple rum sauce is to die for (when they have it).  It's a little out
of the way, on the ocean side at the turn off to the causeway back to the
mainland, but well worth the trip.
