[net.rec.scuba] No, no, no! You don't have to go by cattleboat in the Keys!

You mostly have to go by boat, but you don't have to go by cattleboat.

We were last diving in the Keys about fourteen months ago.  We dove only
with small operators (max six on a trip -- neither of us like cattleboat
operations!).  If things haven't changed since we were there last, there
are more than enough small charter outfits to choose from.  The ones that
we've been out with more than once include:

	Quiescence, on Key Largo (near mile marker 102?)  -
		One of the more widely-advertising "no cattleboats" operations

	Kingsail, on Marathon Key  (ca. mile marker 51?) -
		I really like these people.

	Underseas, Inc., on Pine Key (?? -- near mile marker 28?) -
		A family operation.  (At least, fourteen months ago)
	
People whom we haven't been out with ( not enough time to dive everywhere ):

	a couple at the Fiesta Key KOA (circa mile marker 71?) named Aguilar
    Triangle Dive Center (Captain Bruce Chambers) on Key Largo
		(operated out of a hotel,  last time we were there)
	several operations on Key West
	etc.

And so forth.  You get the idea.
