I was in the Keys last July and August. While in Key West I dove with Subtropic Dive Center. My impression is that they were fairly typical, nothing great, but OK. A practice there that surprised me was that dives were limited to 50 minutes. They wanted everyone back on the boat in 50 minutes, not when your air was gone. I heard that was done by other operators in Key West as well. The boat rides to the dive sites were pretty long--45 minutes was pretty typical.
Not sure about good snorkeling. We didn't try that.
Don't want to be a buzz killer, but I found the diving at Looe Reef was better than Key West, and diving at Key Largo was best of all.

Hope that helps.
