And it depends on what you consider worth it.. If you're from the Midwest and used to diving quarries wi 5' of visibility, you will be impressed. If you're used to diving in Palau, maybe not so much. But I'd probably say yeah, go do it.
BTW, after Aquatic Adventurers closed last summer, I'm not sure there are any boats running out of Key Biscayne. I'd suggest calling the guys at Austin's Dive Center in South Miami and asking them for charter recommendations. tel

Hello.
You need to post HERE:
Florida Diving
OK,
So you are staying on Key Biscayne in a condo or something right?
Great place.
Convenient to Key Largo, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano/Boca, West a Palm Beach/Jupiter.
We dive all year down here in SoFla.
Water temps then:
Jupiter: 65-72
Broward: 68-73
Dade: 69-74
Key Largo: 70-74
All temps in 'Merican!
It can be windy in February, or flat as glass if we have west wind.
How long will you be here?
Repost this to the Florida Forum, and all your questions will be answered.

Poor French, Redneck English, Some Spanish, and German cuss words.

I've never used them but you might want to check these folks out. Weather can be rough or flat calm, visibility can vary, it all depends on what the fronts are doing

I can recommend Divers Paradise they are great and run an awesome boat that is rarely full in the winter giving you lots of space to spread out. They've also got a full service shop!
Biggest problem with Miami diving is weather. Divers Paradise usually cancels for anything over 4-6ft which can occur quite frequently. Lots of cool wrecks depending on your level/training, lots of deep stuff as well as a bunch of shallower wrecks that you can hit 4 or 5 of in a dive they are all "connected" by trails of rebar.
If you get the chance I would definitely recommend heading north a bit to do some diving. Jupiter (Emerald Charters or Jupiter Dive Center) will give you awesome shark/turtle sightings, and one of my favorite dive sites is Tenneco Towers, some old oil platforms sunk of Ft. Lauderdale (American Dream Charters).
