Comments	Quiescence Diving Service, www.quiescence.com, has three six passenger boats docked behind the dive shop on US 1 in Key Largo. They have awesome air fills (3000 PSI and maybe a touch) in all of their tanks. With three boats they can mix and match dive sites from Spiegel Grove for advanced to a "private" patch reef for beginners or a second dive. The owners, Rob and Paul, work in the store and captain the boats. I went out with Rob as a boat captain for two days running and had a great time. Very good briefings and a real concern for safety. You sit on the transom, your BC and tank are placed on your back, you buckle up and do a giant stride and are in the water. Getting out you sit on the transom, the BC is removed and you board the boat. Tanks were changed for us both days. This is not a large operation with cattle boats. If you want a party boat do not dive with Quiescence. If you want a no-hassle trip with accomodating captains and a friendly in-store staff, dive with Quiescence. I will be diving with them again. I really like the six-pack boats. And I really enjoyed talking with Rob about the history behind the Spiegel Grove. Good people with good attitudes.
