Comments	A friend and I returned to South Florida Dive Headquarters after several years absence and bludgeoned ourselves for missing it these last years. The dive operation is first rate with clean boats, great captains and crew, good diving, and reasonable prices. The area if full of great places to stay and a variety of good restaurants. While going out of the states gives some new opportunities staying in country means less hassle and thereby more relaxation. Jeff and his crew do a good job of accommodating all ages and skill levels of divers. Their small base is right at the inlet making the boat rides minimal. While there we did 15 dives and none were a disappointment. The corals were nice and the Grouper are truly Goliaths. We got to see some old friends as well so that made it extra special but this is diving anyone could enjoy.
