My wife and I will be coming to Miami for 6 days in early June. We are both OW with about 30 dives logged... all in Hawaii. We like great visibility with great coral and sea life. Generally don't like going deeper than 70'. We will be in one of the Biscayne Bay hotels for 3-4 nights... could easily spend a couple of mights at Key Largo. What would be the best dive sites/companies (we like having a guide) for us to think about? Thanks in advance for your input.

Largo or Lauderdale will be your best bets.
I've made annual trips to Lauderdale for the past three years, and the reefs there (within 3-4 miles of shore) are prettier than the reefs I've seen in the lower keys/dry tortugas There's also shore-diving to be had there, but 2-tank trips start at $50, and it couldn't be easier. The "3rd reef" that runs for miles in both directions is in 60-70ft of water, but you can find deeper and shallower.
I recommend Captain Conrad Nix's boat the Miss Conduct, but he doesn't use a dive master (he may be able to set one up for you though).
