Haven't been to this one, hear you can only get to it by boat, will find out and post it!! Others have said the festival is really neat. You can only get there by boat, though the organizers run boats from a pier at Mile Marker 80 on Islamorada. I'm looking for a dive partner to go to this one with - if interested send e-mail!
