Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for a thorough reply and explained of what would be the best for us to travel on the Spree. Your expertise is very exceptional and our anxieties are relieved by your response.
This will be second time that we will go to Florida and we plan to rent the gears in Key West. Spree informed us to contact their preferred vendor, which is Dive Key West. I have not read any reviews about them. But if you would like to recommend any dive shop that will rent the gears, we are listening to you.
Based on your response, the berths toward the middle of the boat are better. I talked to my wife and looked like we will do a lower & lower, because we should not keep climbing at this age. Your information is very helpful.
Your reply on the last day is very clear and we will change our traveling plan accordingly. If we do not have this information before, we plan to drive back to Miami after the Vandenberg dive. But if the guests decide to stay a lot longer and skip the Vandenberg, this means the boat will come in very late on that Sunday.
Look like it comes to the decision whether the people will be diving at the Vandenberg or staying in the park before heading back to Key West.
Since the Spree does not have a dive-guide, it means we have to explore the areas by our own. Look like we need to rely on the friends whom we will be met on the boat and ask them to tag along. Most of the reviews stated that the guests were all friendly and they do care for each other. So, this will definitely help.
Thank you again for your reply. You have shred out most of our anxieties and butterflies from our stomachs.
Have a great and wonderful day. Take care.
