America Dream is a really nice boat. Drive 20 minutes north to Boynton Beach & hit those reefs with kev, the diving is really nice there:

I am heading there this weekend with my dive club. We use Parrot Island Scuba. I personally haven't been there before, but my club has used them quite a few times in the past. If they weren't good, I'm sure we wouldn't be going back.

tetrix:
Parrot Island runs a great operation in Pompano and you can back your car up so you're only about 25' feet from the boat. They are also very service oriented so if you asked the DM to carry your tanks from/to your car, I'm sure they'd accommodate the request. That's a little more than they'd normally do so I'd tip a little more as well.
American Dream II running from the Hyatt Pier 66 also allows you to load/unload pretty close to the boat (maybe 15-20').

I'm surprised no one has asked - what type of diving are you actually looking to do -
Fort Lauderdale has a few different types - reefs at 20-30ft, reefs 45-65 feet, wrecks at 70 feet, reefs from 55-90 feet, and wrecks at 90 ft to 130 feet.
Are you spearing, how deep do you feel comfortable at?

If you're petite and good on air, look at an LP66 steel tank. They're like little baby tanks even next to an aluminum 80.
Amazing what some people get for bottom times.

If you want reefs, go to Boynton Beach. No tires, lots of color.

Tires are cool.
