For a brand new diver, go to blue heron bridge. Easy shore dive with good critters to look at.
 
And as @Lostdiver71 suggested, Pura Vida is a good fit. They have two boats, you can generally choose shallower reef over deeper dives, especially on the weekends
I agree. I didn't want to assume they had their AOW/Nitrox certs, which is why I said WPB and not Jupiter. PV is a great fit. They have really nice boats and a friendly customer focused crew.

This is also a great idea and also in WPB. I recommend hiring a guide. @Scuba_Jenny guides and knows the site well. Even after 100+ dives at the location, she's shown me a couple spots.
 
Thanks guys for the recommendation. Appreciate it!

Not a very good representation of SE Florida Diving. Best best is a private charter or a cattle boat.
 
I took my daughter to Lauderdale by the Sea for a week in June. They have some shallow shore dives (a snorkel trail). They have some pretty easy shallow wrecks and drift dives that were nice, also. I do not know what conditions will be like this time of year.
