dove a little in Key Largo over the weekend. worst dive was the Spiegel Grove. unfortunately, the current was running something wicked, and it was a lot of effort just to descend hand over hand on the line. i had to take breaks not to get winded. we made it to the bow, but visibility was less than 10 feet, and after a little bit, we just called the dive.
by far the best dive was Molasses Reef. this reef shows its wear and tear, but it still retains quite a lot of healthy coral, and the fish variety and abbundance is still quite nice. here are some pics:

honeycombed cowfish

scrawled filefish
of all reef fish, i like the "weird" ones the best: filefish, cowfish, trunkfish, puffers. morays are also nice (we saw two on the Molasses Reef dive).
