Look up FL Irishman... he's got a great bunch of write ups for diving in that general area.

I live up the road in Sebastian... years ago, people use to talk about beach diving there. Lately, I think the viz is real low or lower than it normally is - less than 5 ft vs 10-15 on good days.

Most dive shops here take people down to WPB to dive so that might say something. So for see things, probably not the best but if you want bugs....

Vero Beach diving SUCKS!

Vero is 3 hours from North Florida Caves and 2 hours from South Florida ocean diving.

I went off the beach just north of Vero Beach this past week (mini-season). I was about 250 yards out. It was far from a fun dive. Water on top was 80, with a big thermo to 68 degrees at 7 feet. On top we had about 10' viz, in the cold stuff we had about 9".

I think you're better off going down to Ft. Pierce or even further South than that.

I was down in Jensen Beach this past week, and had cold water down to St. Lucie Inlet and Peck Lake. WPB sounds like the best option right now until the upwelling has moved along.

If the wind is coming out of the east... stay home... if the wind is coming out of the west... go diving...

Vero is very susceptible to the winds... Fun diving when it's good... Ft Pierce is a better than Vero.. .but, if you have a good day in Vero, take advantage of it.
