Good Morning from the beautiful Keys!
I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer! We are enjoying
some of the best fishing and snorkeling the Keys has to offer.
The visibility is incredible and the fish are plentiful. I am
offering some super discounts for the fall months and hope you
will call me to take advantage of these great prices.
We have recently purchased a two bedroom house on the oceanside.
It is on the point of Coral Key. It has an awesome 180 degree
open water view that will take your breathe away. The island
only allows 28 day or more rentals. I remember several of you
were looking for monthly rentals. We have already rented the
month of February so please call me if you are interested. I
have attached a photo.
Please remember to look on our website
www.heronsrest.com to
view all of our rentals. Hope to see you soon!
Rent this vacation home direct from us and save! Call Terri

The Easter Bunny on his way to

Snorkelers and divers both can
"egg-splore" the reefs during this year's
Underwater Easter Egg Hunt, April 4. |

KEY LARGO, Florida Keys — Divers
visiting the Florida Keys around the Easter holiday are
likely to trade in their “tank-head” personas for one
more suitable to the season: “egghead.”
This year marks the 10th annual — and unusual —
Underwater Easter Egg Hunt, set for Sunday, April 4, in
the warm, clear waters off Key Largo.
The hunt is hosted by Captain Spencer Slate of
Atlantis Dive Center, well known for his sensational
“creature feature” dive excursions. The event unfolds as
Slate dons an extra-large bunny suit and dive gear to
hide brightly colored Easter eggs beneath the waves for
eager bounty hunters to find.
Divers and snorkelers are to check in at 8 a.m. at
the Atlantis dive shop, located at mile marker 106.5
oceanside. Charter fees are to be specially priced at
$85 per certified diver, including tanks and weights,
$30 per adult snorkeler and $20 for children including
gear. Up to three boats are scheduled to depart the
Atlantis dock at 8:30 a.m.
Once participants are aboard, the Atlantis boats head
out to a secret location on one of the Keys’ pristine
reefs to allow revelers to seek the sunken hard-boiled
treasures during the two-tank trip.
All Easter egg hunters win a prize, with a dive trip
for two awaiting the diver who finds a specially colored
egg. Real eggs and nontoxic colorings are used to
prevent any negative ecological impact.
The fundraiser supports Kids In Special Situations,
which provides gifts and holiday cheer to the area’s
needy children.
For reservations, contact Captain Slate’s Atlantis
Dive Center at 800-331-3483 or 305-451-3020, or click
here.

Largo Chamber of Commerce at 305-451-4747 or
