I'm surprised no one has suggested the Keys: especially Key Largo. The shallow reefs are some of the easiest to dive in the state and there are plenty of topside activities. The only negative for diving any ocean diving in Florida during spring break is that marine conditions and weather conditions are variable. Sometimes dives get cancelled as a result. However, the Keys have plenty of other activities.
Some of the dive shops/boats I've used in the Keys include Conch Republic Divers, Rainbow Reef (provides dive guides), Horizon Divers and Silent World. There are plenty of others too.
If you are looking for dirt cheap places to stay, the Hungry Pelican will do, though it is not overly nice but might be right for a bunch of college students. If you have a bunch of friends making the trip with you then you can consider a condo and split the costs. I've stayed at Ocean Pointe and it is pretty nice.
