Greetings all, first post here, just discovered this site. Hope its not exclusive for club members only or anything 
Anyway, I'm a long certified diver and my 12 year old daughter is getting certified by NW Divers in preperation for a school science trip out to the Channel Islands at the end of the school year. I want to make sure i get enough dives in her for her to be more than just comfortable in the water.
I have the 8th edition of the diving guide, but it doesn't really go into to much detail. I have a few questions on some beach times specifically, and if anyone can recommend some other sites that are suitable that will be great.
Looking at the Vero area, in particular Monster Hole, Wabasso, El Capitana and so on. Can anyone provide more details on those sites?
How is the entry on a "normal" day?
How does other sports interfere with diving? I understand Monster is a fav for fishing and surfing.
How is the vis? I hear its generally not to good being so close to shore for some of those.
I know about Lauderdale by the sea and thats one place I'll be taking her. Eventually we'll do some boat dives as well, and of course the springs. I'm really looking for "cheap" sites though where i can take her several times without worrying about expenses other than gas and rental gear.
Thanks for any info.
