July 2009—1st Annual Florida Keys Open "Mity Mite" Tournament Have you ever fished with a 24-inch pole? Our whole tournament was designed around fishing with a 24-inch pole with an open spinning reel. We had a great time. The tournament was a full six days between Lobster Mini-Seasn and the opening day of Lobster Season. You know what they say, "It's not the size of the pole that counts, it's how you work your bait. Pictures will be displayed on the www.floridakeysopen.com website.

Summer 2008—Divemasters on Every Dive Trip This summer we decided to change our dive service by providing a complimentary divemaster or instructor on every trip. Our divemasters know the area and can direct our divers to the best locations at each dive site. We believe approach has helped some apprehensive divers as well knowing they have a divemaster in the water with them. If a diver and the buddy are interested in exploring on their own that's not a problem, following the divemaster is up to the diver.
