Re: Key west

I'll be down in Key West at the same time, with my girlfriend though so spearfishing is probably out of the question.
For those lucky enough to be able to go spearing there are a series of reefs off of Key West (3rd largest living reef in the world...that's what I've been told anyway). The reefs are about 7 miles off shore so you will need a boat. All the spearos go to the reefs because that's where all the fish are. Several of the reefs are protected so be careful. It's probably a good idea to go to the dive shop (it's down near the bottom of duval street just off to the right if you're headed towards Mallary Square and it's chock full of spearfishing gear so someone there should know their stuff) and ask them which reefs are good to spear on and which are not.
