Hello and welcome to the board.

Welcome overboard. Do you mean other dive sites in Florida, or just other dive sites? If the latter, you just found 25,000 or so who fit the bill.

With the gulf stream coming close to shore and the area being a big turtle nesting ground, youe see alot. on our last trip (May 2004) we did a drift dive on north breakers. besides the normal characters we encountered very large turtles, a lone stingray with an approx. wing span of 8 feet and a couple of nurse sharks. also an octopus that was resting on the bottom, curled up in some coral.

I dive that area alot (about twice a week), and for the last 2 months I've seen a min. of at least one turtle on every dive. Very cool thing when they just kinda hang out and check YOU out, I had one head right at me and then (at what I thought was the last second) swim above me, it was pretty cool feeling those little flippers rubbing across my back.
I've only seen a few nurse sharks there lately (small ones) and ever now and then a stingray.

Anyways, sorry to be winded, welcome to the board!!
