Comments	[My husband and I were renting a house for the months of January and February on Ramrod Key. We brought our dive gear so we could dive when we saw that the weather and the water would be warm and inviting. We picked Innerspace Dive Shop when we met Robert Bosic at the Pirates' Work-Out Center which we joined. He worked there part-time and captained a dive boat at the dive shop also. We are so happy that we started diving with Robert as our Captain and Divemaster. He was friendly and helpful getting us geared up for the dives and always picked wonderful sites for us to dive on Looe Key. It is breezy and the current and surge can be strong during the winter months. We lucked out and had lots of warm weather during our stay and were able to pick days that were calm. I would love to dive at Looe Key in the summer when the water is really calm and the temperature is in the 80's. The coral fingers are filled with beautiful fish, and they are plentiful. We saw a large nurse shark as we turned a corner and a reef shark as we went down another finger on the same morning dive. My husband and grandson saw a loggerhead turtle sleeping in some coral on a night dive. I usually prefer wall diving, but I loved Looe Key for the beautiful coral and fish life. We were the only divers on the boat, and they only take a maximum of six divers out at a time. Robert was a great help to us when we had gear problems and getting back in the boat.
