Comments	Diving: This was my 3rd time with Quiescence (www.keylargodiving.com, phone 305/451-2440) and it is still a great operation. They have a fleet of 3 6-pack boats, each captained by an experienced hand. This is not escorted diving. The capt. describes possible destinations and then assists you with your gear. Accomodations: No one would describe Bayside Resort, formerly known as Marina Del Mar Bayside Resort, (www.baysideresort.us) as plush but it is located just 2.5 miles from Quiescence and it represents a good value. The complementary breakfast isn't anything more than some small danish, a few apples, coffee and juice. Value: Call Quiescence for a quote but the typical rate is $89 per person per night, double occupancy. That gets you the hotel plus a 2-tank dive, weights, tanks & air. If you are looking for reef diving at a destination that doesn't take a long time to get to where you can book some long bottom time, the Keys represent a good bet.
