Home Trips Planning Scott Newland in the Florida Keys

Scott Newland in the Florida Keys

Scott Newland is planning a dive trip to the Florida Keys. It will be centered on Marathon but will include Key West.

Friday, 3/23 Leave Melbourne early, arriving in Marathon around noon. Do afternoon two-tank dive trip in Marathon.
Saturday, 3/24 Do morning two-tank dive trip in Marathon. Still deciding about afternoon two-tank dive trip and/or night dive.
Sunday, 3/25 Leave early and drive to Key West and then do a double drop on the Vandenburg in the morning. Eat lunch then drive home.

The plan is to stay at Discount Divers Bed and Breakfast. There are five apartments located behind the dive shop. The apartments run about $100/night + $20 for each additional person. The apartments can sleep 3 - 7 singles. The cost of the apartment would range from $52 (3 People) - $35 (7 people) per night. All the apartments are current available that weekend. Staying a a traditional hotel or condo will run about $100/person per night.

The cost for dives would be $70 - $75 dollars per 2 tank dive. The dives operator will depend upon numbers and government bureaucracy. In Marathon, the easiest answer is to go with the guy attached to the bread and breakfast. He can take 6 divers unless his new boat (which carries 22) is certified by that time. If neither of these options is available, another operator will be used. The Key West dive trip will use Captain's Corner.

The time frame for doing this is short. For more information, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
