I went to South Florida last June & luckily my wife dives also. We stayed in Lauderdale for a day before heading down to Key Largo.
Bit if my wife didn't dive & needed some beach time or shopping while I was diving it would be Lauderdale. The beaches are clean & friendly, food is pretty good too.
I can honestly say that the wife would be much happier in Lauderdale. Since I was thinking of doing my Trimix class down there in Key Largo & she has no desire to do it she told me if it was in Lauderdale she would love it, but she didn't think there was enough to do in Key Largo to keep her Happy waiting for my boat to come in.
I did a night shore dive in Lauderdale & had a great time.
This in no way is a slap at Key Largo, we loved our time there & the diving was fantastic. Did the Spiegle Grove(twice), Eagle, Bibb & Duane(twice), along with Molasses Reef. The only negative was the reef by the Eagle (can't remember the name), but it was small & overcrowded & really not all that impressive.
