Hello,
I'll be for 1st time in Key West with my Chriscraft 23 footer and a new Cressi Comanche. Any suggestions for an old spearo who hasn't spearfished for 15 years (what a shame, working reasons)?. I heard the coral heads, not enclosed by the sanctuary buoys, could be good spots plus a few wrecks scattered between Key West and Marquesas. Eventually I'd like to navigate all the way to Dry Tortugas but most probably I'll need an extra fuel tank/bladder for the returning trip.
Thank you,
Anthony
 
The Tortugas is a great visit, don't miss it.

Can't give you much advice on dive spots, other than Tortugas Bank (beyond th Fort) is legal and parts are real good.

Be careful of the weather. That area is not well forecast and it can get ugly fast(personal experiance) with little in the forecast. With no resupply available out there, getting stuck for much time at the Fort is a bad option.
