Comments	Conch Republic Divers was just bought by Brenda and Gary Mace (in July 2003) and they clearly intend to keep up the CRD reputation for friendliness. They like diving and they like divers. When an afternoon trip got down to two other divers and me (and the couple was thinking was cancelling) Brenda said: "I don't cancel a trip if someone's here who wants to dive." She would ahve sent the boat out with just me. Boat staff very helpful and friendly, assists to the dive platform and take your tanks upon exit. Not a lot of explanation about the marine life per se, but that's something you rarely get anywhere these days. A tip box is on board but no pushing, directly or indirectly, for tips. Boat is comfortable, head, cabin for changing, easy entry and an exit ladder, fresh water shower, no snacks but juice for post dive time. The boat is the former Lady Cyana and Paul (who ran Lady Cyana Dive Shop) was on board doing his own diving on most of my trips (10 dives, three days). Plenty of info in the Chapbook about Keys diving so I'll omit that.
