Comments	My family, friend & I have spent weeklong dive trips with Jeff Jarvis on the HMS Minnow for each of the past three years. Jeff & his lovely "Mate" Betty run a top-notch operation. They provide professional, thorough, honest & friendly service. Jeff has always gone out of his way to put us on dive sites with the best conditions available below the surface & the fewest boats above the surface. The tanks consistently started with 3000+ lbs. I particularly enjoyed Conch Wall, Snapper Ledge, the Spiegel Grove & the Duane. I would highly recommend Jeff, Betty & their Minnow to any diver going to Key Largo, regardless of experience level. Any future trips we take to Key Largo will include diving from the HMS Minnow.
