South Florida Diving Headquarters is great. Say "hi" to captain Dave on the Green Boat.

Scubaguy62:So. Fla. Diving - flat top catamaran; a bit of a cattle style boat, but the crew is extremely fun and helpful.
Parrot Island - V hull boat (I think it's a 42'), docked right at the hillsborough inlet, where So. Fla. Diving would also exit (quicker trip to the reefs and wrecks), fun crew, but my vote on that dept. goes to So. Fla. Diving.
Either of them is a good operator, so it would really depend on who's available; price is about the same.
Scubatyme.............. not my, or other members' favorite...
There's also great shore diving in Pompano Beach, just off SE 12th Street.
If you get a chance and can go south to Ft. Lauderdale, I strongly recommend the American Dream II or the Pro Diver II
