Thanks Guys! Any recommendations on a good SCUBA shop to rent 2 tanks of air and weights? Also need some place to hook up with dive buddies?

when you drive into largo you will see hundreds of dive shops along the main road. I dont know of any off the top of my head but just stop in and ask some questions. Most of the people down there are very freindly and should help you out with any questions you have. Its amazing how many dive shops you could have in such a small area.

Just down the street on US1, used to be a dive shop called crook and crook, only about 10 minutes from U of M, going north

Crook is a fishing tackle, bait, and boating shop. I dont think there is any scuba in there. Then again, I dont think ive ever made a left when i walk in there, so I could be wrong..

But there are definately plenty of dive shops in Key Largo, and the best diving in the state probably.

in key largo an outstanding shop is quiescence. ft lauderdale ive done with a 3mm shorty and full. i have seen people do it with nothing but i'd think that'd be a bit chilly
