Marathon/key west dive this weekend w boat

Hey Guys,
I had originally posted in Eastern Florida, as I had been expecting to dive off Jupiter, but seeing as the wind looks miserable down that way and it seems much better farther south, I am now planning on hitting either Marathon or Key West.

I am an experienced diver from Long Island with both a blue water gun and a reef gun with a reel. I am strictly a freediver, no tanks.

Would love ANY advice on the area ... where I should plan on heading for dolphin/wahoo any numbers for reef structure inshore would be INSANELY appreciated and well guarded.

I am also looking for ONE dive partner ... but since I'll be there diving Sat, Sun and most likely Monday (11/04-07)... I can bring out multiple dive partners throughout the course of the weekend. I just have an 18 foot boat so bringing more than one other diver would be very cramped. My father will be driving the boat so both of us can be in the water at the same time. Just throw down a bit for gas etc.

Email me if you're down! Avery at AndonArtists.com

I have to say that an 18' boat this weekend is going to be miserable at best. And with reports of milk water all the way past Marquesas and out to 175' with winds at 20+ I would be careful in a boat that small. Good luck and be safe if you go.

Yeah pretty bummed to be getting these reports of 20+ winds ... will def not go out in that. We're going to try and wake up super early and hope we can get a bit of inshore diving done at the least if the wind isn't crazy. Would truly appreciate ANY numbers you guys have for inshore reef or structure in the Marathon area ... I would never share them with anyone and it's just my father and I so I wouldn't shoot more than a fish or two since we wouldn't be able to eat more than that. If the wind dies down, we'll be here until tuesday, hope I can get some diving done ... came all the way from NY crap!!
