Hi @Leafy Seadragon
I see you dive a rebreather, what kind of diving do you want to do ocean, caves, both? You appear to be young, half my age. Do you need to work, is that available anywhere in Florida? Do you have family that also need to work or go to school, etc.?
I'm much older, do not have to work, dive in the ocean, like wrecks but prefer reefs, Florida is a 2nd home. I initially only knew and liked the Keys. Discovered Jupiter and drift diving. Spent 3-4 years visiting and diving between Ft Lauderdale and Jupiter. Chose Boynton Beach, West Palm, and Jupiter. Bought just north of Boynton at a good time, 2011. Now, after more than 1200 dives, I made the right decision for me.
Best of luck

If I had to pick one place for the type of diving I do (mostly reefs and wrecks less than 90ft), it would be Lighthouse Point on the SE coast. Safe community, easy access to lots of great diving, even right off the beach. The Keys and Jupiter are 1.5 hours away and our club dives there often. Tavernier, in the middle Keys is great also, but is a completely different lifestyle.

Florida is like the inverse of the country. North is south, east is west, etc. The link below has a few maps dividing FL that are mostly pretty accurate.

These maps attempt to show what living in Florida is really like...

But….
Yep. All full.
Your budget may determine where you live in Florida...a million plus plus in Jupiter to get a small place. Stuart is ok. West Palm is nice. We saw some homes in Miami for around 25 million plus.....budget will dictate more than desire

I live in Fla. It is hard to know what a stranger means when you say “nice for families.” Personally, I like the Blue end of the State and I think it is great for families. My politics could be different than yours. You’d be better off exploring to see what suits your taste. Diving down here is great and I can go to Key Largo diving for the day and return in the early evening.
Don’t do it! Living isn’t visiting
