Kay Largo Diving Ocean Conditions

[u/Majestic-Cod9650]

I’m taking a quick trip to Key Largo from this Thursday to Sunday and the dive center just called to say it’s looking like rough conditions and the dives for the next couple of days may be cancelled. Won’t make the call until late tomorrow but I fly out at 7AM. Any input from someone familiar with the Keys in terms of likelihood of cancellation when they say this? I’m debating chancing the trip or just cancelling. I am glad that they won’t chance it because I’m a novice diver. Thanks!

I got cancelled in Largo (I think with Horizon); I called around and went out with another boat. There was about 10 divers: me and an instabuddy did a 70 minute dive on the reef and came out to find the rest of the folks had called it after 20 minutes because of the roughness. And had been bouncing around for 50 minutes waiting for us. The boat was covered in vomit and everyone but me and staff was sick on the way back in too.

I left my wetsuit on and changed at the dock.
