I will be in South Florida this July; I know it will be very hot. Nonetheless, I will have a few days to scuba dive. I never dived in Florida before and would like some advice on good dive location.

Thank you for your suggestions, they look very interesting. I will be staying at Fort Lauderdale.Its hot but not hot like Las Vegas or Arizona - normally 88 - 92 F (high 30's C) - but it can be real humid - its one of the best times to dive because the summer brings calm(er) sea conditions and warmer water (80's) as a rule - it is hurricane season so keep an eye on the weather, but you are normally better in that regard in July vs late August or Sep't.
Your profile suggests a new diver - the obvious 1st suggestion would be Key Largo - long, shallow dives are the norm. All S. FL has great diving - once you narrow down exactly where you want to stay we can give you more suggestions, because the diving is different in many S. FL locations.
For example my favorite is Jupiter - but it may not be appropriate for a new diver, yet Boynton in the same neck of the woods could be.
I do like your web site and found it to be very helpful. Thank you. I have seen others like it, but what I would like to know is what sites divers personally like. If they recommend a site they enjoyed then I would probably try it out.Its hot but not hot like Las Vegas or Arizona - normally 88 - 92 F (high 30's C) - but it can be real humid - its one of the best times to dive because the summer brings calm(er) sea conditions and warmer water (80's) as a rule - it is hurricane season so keep an eye on the weather, but you are normally better in that regard in July vs late August or Sep't.

Kind of a broad question, no?I do like your web site and found it to be very helpful. Thank you. I have seen others like it, but what I would like to know is what sites divers personally like. If they recommend a site they enjoyed then I would probably try it out.
I just updated my profile. I'm still a beginner, but I now have over 80 dives. I signed up for the PADI Rescue Diver Course that will take place in April. By July I will have my MSD card and 14 PADI specialties under my belt. I just though I'd mention it.Its hot but not hot like Las Vegas or Arizona - normally 88 - 92 F (high 30's C) - but it can be real humid - its one of the best times to dive because the summer brings calm(er) sea conditions and warmer water (80's) as a rule - it is hurricane season so keep an eye on the weather, but you are normally better in that regard in July vs late August or Sep't.
