   I am looking for information on diving in the Florida Keys. I am 
   taking scuba lessons now and I am planning a trip to the Keys in
   April. I would like to know the best places to go diving. Also I 
   plan to get my open water certification down there so I need to
   know which are the better dive shops. Can anybody help me?

    I would highly recommend diving at Looe Key, a small, ususally submerged
reef off of Big Pine Key.  I've always gone out to the reef with a trip from
the dive shop at the west end of BPK (I can't remember the name).  They offer
a two tank dives for about $20, while the other dive shop on the island offers
a one tank dive for about the same price.  When I went this Christmas the reef
was kind of murky because of the weather, but other years if has always been 
beautiful.
