Comments	I dove with Quiescence(Q) Diving (mm103.5)in November of 2002 for a week. Q runs three 6 packs out of Key Largo. They have been around for many years and know the best dive spots based on the weather and ocean condition in the Marine Park. There were several times when we went out and I looked at the ocean and said this is not going to be a great day and it turned out just fine due to the locations that were chosen. Their captains know diving and how to ensure the divers have the least hassles given the diving conditions. Two examples; we were diving the Spiegel Grove and it was blowing pretty good – all the other dive boats on the site were tied up bow first to the mooring buoys and their divers were going off the stern and having to swim their way up to the buoy to descend. John had us suit up while we were still coming up to the site and then tied up stern first so we stepped off the boat right next to the buoy and were able to grab the line and descend to the wreck with little effort. When we came up the boat was bow first and we drifted back to the stern and got on board with the boat as protection against the wave action, on another day a couple, who were new to diving, came up rather far (maybe 15 yards) and down wind from the boat which would have meant a tough swim back to the boat - Ron dropped the mooring and moved the boat to them so they could easily board. Both captains executed these actions effortlessly and with only a positive impact on the divers. The captains move your equipment from the spent tank to the new tank before you even get your mask and weight belt off so you were all set for the second dive before you left the first dive site. They want you on the boat with 500lbs or after you have been down an hour, other then dive as you want. I am going back to the keys Friday and will be diving with Q for the week next week. Keys Largo diving is always great from a fish prospective, sometime there are so many fish you have to almost push them aside to swim forward. We saw nurse sharks almost on every dive, numerous rays, morays, groupers, angels. You name it they were there. I stayed at Amorays Dive Resort and found it to be clean and the staff congenial with very nice grounds and outdoor seating for watching the sunset. The continental breakfast was just what you needed before going diving.
