No doubt where I would go! West Palm Beach Florida. The Gulfstream comes within 1/2 mile of shore here. The reefs are healthy, the water is warm (all year), and the vis can be up to 100 or more feet. Lots of wrecks also if that is what you want.
The reason I like it is because we always see big life. Lots of turtles, sharks, and eels. I was ther 3 weeks ago on a spearfishing trip. We were a little north of WPB and we saw Manta rays! They were huge! Had to be 14 ft tip to tip. We did 17 dives during the week...saw 10 Huge Jewfish, somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 turtles (many lager heads which are the largest of the turtles). We even saw yellow nurse sharks sleeping around a sunken barge. These things were 12 ft if they were an inch. Several dives we saw reef sharks.
You can't go wrong in WPB. It's all drift diving so you see a lot and don't burn much air and the boat rides are only 10 minutes to dive sites.
