    Question I have slightly different twist on

    questions asked before.

    I had to miss DEMA last year, but have a Delta ticket to Miami that I need to use by October. So based upon arriving in Miami, where do I go?

    I'd like a broad cross-section of FL diving....doing the SG, Duane, or Bibb would be cool. Seeing coral, sealife etc...is also a biggie as I will be bringing my video camera.

    There are probably a bunch of posts already out there, but I don't know FL geography. I suppose I could go look at a map.

    TIA

    you don't have far to go. go slightly north to Ft. Lauderdale for awesome shore diving, and go slightly south to Key Largo for awesome boat diving and the wrecks you mention.

    Leave the 7mm

    behind. You're only going to need a 3mm, maybe a shorty. Water will be 80's about that time. Several good books on Florida diving available, Ned Deloch's is probably the best "Florida Diving" (someone correct me with the proper title).

    You'll find a lot of great dive buddies from the board down here. If you like wrecks, there are a bunch between Miami and West Palm. I have dived off just about every boat along this coast and I haven't had a bad operation experience yet. Hit the Keys as well, and get wet whereever. You won't be disappointed. Capt. Slate's Atlantis and Ocean Diver's are the only two I have tried in Key Largo. Further south than that may be a drive depending on how long you'll be in town.

    Good operations in Broward/Dade counties that I have experienced.

    Jupiter Dive Center - Jupiter
    Narcosis - W. Palm
    Pro Dive - Lauderdale
    Brownie's - Lauderdale
    H2O Scuba - Miami
    Captain Slate's - N. Key Largo
    Ocean Diver's - S. Key Largo

    And many others that I can't remember right now.

    The reef systems are different along the coast. The Pu-Pu platter of South Florida diving, to me would be a boat dive from Boynton, a beach dive down at Lauderdale By the Sea, a boat out of Key Largo, and do the Marquesas if you can.

    I have my steady boats that I dive every week, and then I try one to two new boats each month.
