In other words, in answer to the Op's question, no. You can go North, there's some wrecks off the coast in the Jacksonville area, but the best diving is South.
When I'm considering traveling to a destination and there's water nearby I do a search on ScubaBoard for the name of the place and see what sort of threads come up.
As far as your stated destination goes, the search results make it clear that in that general area your best bet is a large bathtub.
most of us in the St Lucie and Indian River areas go south to Palm Beach for diving. PSL and Vero is known for marginal (at best) dive conditions whereas Palm Beach is some of the best diving in the US!

Commuting from Port St Lucie to Jupiter and WPB for diving would be plush.
Port St. Lucie is an in-between suburban sprawl. Depending on which side of the river they settle on, your friend needs to get used to commuting 20-40 minutes either north or south for most activities. Good fishing to the north, better diving to the south.

Wow there is a ton of excellent diving in that area from the st lucie inlet to the south and fort pierce to the north. There are probably over 100 artificial reefs and miles of natural reefs that are accessible. Visibility can be very challenging and you have to pick your days, but it can easily be 30-60 ft in many areas. If you are a tourist and want to look at clear water, then go 60 miles south
