Comments	I've dove with most dive operators in the Florida Keys, Conch Republic is by far the best dive operation over the last 8 years. This is not a party boat, they are focused on providing the diver with the best dive given the conditions. Example, the first day had terrible dive conditions, current and surge created limited visibility and less than enjoyable diving. However, rather then just picking any locations, Captain Gary Mace (owner / operator) spent 30 minutes visiting a number of sites before finding the best that was available. Their Captains and mates have been with Conch Republic for a number of years, speaks to Conch Republic's willingness to provide the best experience, rather then just worry about the almighty dollar. That experience shows up in many ways, including finding the best sites given conditions and matching dive locations with divers interest and skills. I've yet to have a bad experience with Conch Republic and highly recommend them to all who are diving the keys.
