Any good shore diving in Florida?...

Any good shore diving in central to southern florida? I've done Lauderdale by the Sea, but that's about all. Any cool wrecks or anything to see without needing a boat?

http://www.shorediving.com has a section for Florida. You could use it for research. The Ned Deloach Underwater Guide to Florida I'm sure has some of these locations also. It's a "must buy" book for Florida diving in my opinion.

I have to agree on the book. Usually I find them dissapointing. Full of places I already knew about. Or locations that are inaccessable without a boat. The FL guide is great though, including shore, off shore and way inshore (springs and caverns) locations. Unfortunately I am not from the lower part of the state, so can't help there. If you ever come to the panhandle though, let us know. We will gladly take you to the "secret" locations we dive.

Depending on the weather... from Wabasso south you can dive. The closer you get to Wabasso, the more fickle the viz gets. I frequently go to Ft Pierce and Blue Herron Bridge. LBTS is my favorite of all the shore dives.

If the wind is coming out of the west... go diving... if it's coming out of the east... go to BHB or stay home.
