I will be staying there over the holidays this Christmas and new yrs.
We will have two Brand new skis They also will need the 5 hr oil change after well 5 hrs which is going to be the first day...lol
One Ski is the Ultra 310LX and the other is the Ultra 160LX
I have purchased a couple Wet suits at 2/3 mm and 4/5mm full length and shortys also
Ok Two skis and we slip at the resort Fiesta Key. we exit on Gulf side what laws do I need to pay attention to Im from Cocoa beach and Pensacola dn Ft Myers but never where I can be in Atlantic or gulf and reefs and all like there plus islands.
I believe Florida still has day time running to 30 minutes prior to dark laws if in coastal waters 3 miles out you can do what ya want I think. I could be wrong on any number of things why I am posting and asking for seasoned help.
I had thought about sticking along coast line and driving gulf side down to Key west or trailer down and launch from there ? Any thoughts It is 60 miles I would more than likely not have the range to make it all the way one way.
How deep average is the waters or Had I better grab a depth finder?
Also I read another of your threads and the mention of shallow reefs of rocks came into discussion and speed... any way to know are there depth charts that based on Tide activity you can gain and idea of where you can shred and where you need to be cautious or bam there it is and you fly and crash?
Areas to avoid by law? how to make sure I am in compliance?
I dont want the FDLE and water to nail me...plus I want to be a good Jet ski person and respectful I also dont think my girlfriend isnt going to want to run WOT I would but she keeps me sane well as much as possible...
We wanted to enjoy two weeks of jets skis Keys Bad weather no problem we will drive and see land sights
But on sunny warm days jump on skis and head out snorkel a reef or two have fun and explore different areas based on actual conditions.
Ideas thoughts discussions Guides Warnings...and Thanks to all.

. Looks like K447 & Timebandit have answer & gave great advice. We visited Key Largo, Islamorada & Key West this pass August. One thing I can share after staying out that way for a week is, quiet a few marina & places don’t like our Jetski Community when it comes to docking & attempting to get fuel. From talking to some locals while visiting, they told me very large groups from around neighboring cities come down and act like they own the place. Either way like I told the gentleman at the marina I was just visiting with a few friends very small group of 4 and just needed to get fuel and I would be on my way. Was crazy to see how fired up some of the places I attempted to get fuel from was running us off. Boats only most would tell us. All in all beautiful place, enjoyed Alligator Reef & Christ of the Abyss. But wow, their hard up on Jetskis. Please keep in mind we obey and respect all laws and waterways. Best of luck with your vacation. Oh and side note, I never heard of any PWC requiring 5 hr oil change for break in!
