My wife and I did over 20 dives off the beach before we found a whole meg. Tons of small teeth but no megs.

Now we swim out an extra 100 to 150 yards and find them nearly every dive.

A charter would be the way to get a jump start, and see what "good" bottom looks like.

We went out with Florida West today and found half a dozen megs, some whale teeth, and my wife found a large piece of mammoth molar.

Florida West is the only charter I've used but I've always had good luck and good service.
 
Our family of three divers are going to be in your area of the state later this summer, and we're wondering if you have any favorites when it comes to locations off the beach and dive-masters/captains we should also consider if we can find the time to squeeze in a whole day (two tanks) of diving.

Thanks in advance

Patience, perseverence, keep moving and looking. Or you can book a dive trip with one of the local dive charters. If it looks like a fossil (shiny black), pick it up and look at it. I know people that have hundreds of dives and have yet to find a meg and others that get lucky and find one on their first trip.
 
Luck & a prayer
 
Advice I got from local treasure divers... Look for straight lines. Straight lines do not belong in the sea.
