I saw two bulls and a lemon shark on the same dive while on the Juno Ludge this past Sunday. Unusually poor visibility that day probaly explains the sightings. Most I have seen in a while unless lemon's were aggregating...
 
Every other time I see reefies at Molasses
 
Get in your car and drive 90 miles +/- and dive Jupiter.

Request the following sites:

Area 51
Tunnels
Captain Mikes

You have a better than 80% chance of seeing sharks on any of those sites, especially in the winter.

I live in Miami and dive there frequently, so there is always a chance of a sighting, but for the best odds, its Jupiter hands down, at the sites mentioned above.
 
See more Bullsharks than I care too off the beach here in Fort Pierce. I second the Jupiter dive for sharks. I can not remember the last time I dove there and DID NOT see at least one.

TO really get the shark encounter call and ask when they are having a thre tank spear trip on Blue Tang. The best thing is if you are NOT spearing and everyone else is. The sharks swim toward you.. confirm you are not living a bloody fish trail and then swim toward the spearos. I have had a great time diving like this.
 
I say take a trip to North Carolina, dive with Oylmpus, on the Spar and you will see sharks! Lots of them, Sand Tigers. I make two to three trips a year and when we get out the diving is awesome!

Yeah, you also get they rare GW on the Spar. It is a really good dive.:D
 
Well it's official... I am going to Jupiter every weekend until I see one.

crd kats... I am soooo jealous. I am surprised I have not seen a shark yet, but seeing a Manta is my lifelong underwater goal (just in case anyone else wants to brag my on land goal is to see a panther in the wild).
 
I've seen a decent sized reef shark in key west (my avatar) along with a few nurse sharks.
