I also like shallow diving....40-50ft.... with sandy bottom,occasional reef here and there.
Shallow gives more depth perspective and thrilling to see the shimmer , boat ...above.
Air lasts longer too.. and it's bright.
To me, that screams Key Largo, land-based, doing 2 2-tank boat trips with Rainbow Reef Dive Center back in 2018 (trip report), if you skip the deep wreck dives in the morning in favor of shallow reef dives. Not a live-aboard, but you can do a lot of diving.
