From HoustonJen: I saw on Jupiter Dive Center’s website that they are leading a trip out of Key West on the M/V Spree to Dry Tortugas that first week of October if they are shuttling together from Jupiter to Key West, that would work for me. Would that be a better option that time of the year that diving right out of Florida? I guess what I’m asking is during early October where can I get the most bang for my bucks and best dives in the area if I will only be there 4-5 days....


The Spree is hard to beat when it comes to the most diving for your buck. Frank’s ship breifing is worth the price of admission alone! It’s cheaper to stay and eat on the Spree than stay on a land based op plus you are going to be diving about 4 times a day. No gear break down, they fill the tanks at your seat while you are off eating :) Just remember it’s not a private room, you will be in a bunk room, sometimes one of the rooms is all female but I wouldn’t count on it.

October should be the end of the tropical storms, I did go out on the Spree once with a storm in the gulf but the diving was still good :)
