Comments	Mike and Marcia Goldberg run a first rate operation. The operation is small, only one boat, the GIANT STRIDE. They did not over pack the boat and we all had good individual attention. The dive masters were all experienced and very amiable. The plan was discussed in detail and we dove the plan. Between dives the crew changed tanks for us and we could store our gear on board for the next day. We dove with them five (1/2) days and got our money's worth. Most of the dives were shallow ie 60 FSW or less. The reefs are best at that level. One dive was a wreck dive on the EAGLE. It is in 90-110' and the current going down swift. Not a dive for a novice. No hull penetration but a good experience. Check it out at www.keydives.com or info@keydives.com. N.B. There is another operation with a similar name nearby. Key Dives is at MM 79.8 in Islamadora, FL.
