Comments	Went out on afternoon run: two reef dives. Both were shallow--less than 25 feet each. One hour on each dive site--meaning from the time they give the briefing to the time back on the boat. (So depending on how long it takes you to get suited up and in the water, you could have a 55 minute or 45 minute dive, etc.) Boat is large, comfortable. Separate water tub and table for cameras and another bucket for mask rinse. Vinegar on board for jellyfish stings. Dive guide is optional. They give a briefing of each site and buddy teams can dive on their own, or pay for a guide. Staff were friendly, but not "in the way". They change over your gear to second tank during the surface interval. Reef is healthy, lots of snapper, grunts, many parrotfish, several lobster, and barracuda. Visibility was only fair. Great way to get underwater. If I were to dive in Key West again I would go back to Southpoint Divers.

UW Photo Comments	They have a table, but not necessarily reserved for photography. They do keep one rinse bucket for cameras only--asking people not to rinse masks in it.
