Comments	I went here on the recommendation of a friend who visited at the same time last year and saw eagle rays, sea horses, turtles, nurse sharks, even orcas. I was very disappointed at the lack of critters on my own trip - average of only 2 animals (other than reef fish) per dive. This is a well run operation with beautiful boats, good service, helpful staff, good accomodations, above average food in a pretty setting, but all that stuff doesn't matter if there's nothing to see. The only remarkable animals from a whole week of 3 dives per day were distant eagle rays, 1 turtle, a sharptail eel and the decent size groupers that were usually hanging out under the boat. There are a couple sites with interesting topography: arches, caves, steeply walled coral mazes, but this doesn't make for a week of diving. Divemasters were only marginally motivated to find critters and limited all dives to a maximum of 45 minutes; I routinely came up with more than 1000psi. If you just want to relax in a nice setting, AKR comes through at a good value for the money - remember though, tipping is expected. With the dolphins, picnics, snorkel trips and horseback riding, Anthony's Key is a great place for famiies and groups; experienced divers will be BORED.

UW Photo Comments	Great facilities and service, if expensive. Unfortunately, nothing to take photos of. It's a bad sign when most of the trip video consists of shots of other divers.
