Comments	We dove with Key Dives for two days and had a great time. My friend and I were there celebrating our birthdays (60 and 64) and both have many dives and have been diving together forever. The entire staff, from the desk when we checked in to boat crew were very professional and helpful. The dive sights were good, the boat big and easy to get off and on. We saw several Queen Conchs feeding. It was amazing. They even found and mailed my mask back to NJ, without charging me for shipping. This is the best run dive shop we have found in the Keys. We've been diving the different shops for years and this is our new spot. We will definitely be back. Chesapeake Resort in Islamorada had a reciprocal agreement with the shop. We got one 2 tank dive included with our room. The place was beautiful and the room was great. We had a little villa, room 305. The only negative was the breakfast. It was pretty sad, frozen waffles, fake eggs, dry bacon. But the rest of the restaurants in Islamorada were excellent and made us forget breakfast. We will definitely do this again.
