ok, in West Palm Beach ( I think its exit 55 off of I-95) you go down Blue Heron Blvd, cross over the bridge, on the left as you cross the bridge there is a park (Phile Foster Park). Turn into the park and head west to the end of the parking lot where the remains of the old bridge is. Park anywhere over there and gear up. There is a ramp with some sand, enter here and head west in the water. Don't go into the boat channel cuz you might get run over. If you get into water that is over 16' deep you have gone too far. Turn around and head back towards where you entered the water and weave in and out of the bridge pillons on the new bridge. Don't go under the old bridge part when fisherman are around, but I hear there is alot of good stuff under it, but lots of old fishing line down there, so becareful.
You should start your dive 1/2 hour before high tide and end your dive 1/2 hour after high tide or else the current will be too much for you and you will end up getting sucked thu the intercoastal, out the inlet, and off to sea! So you have at least 60 mins of good bottom time here. Lots of macro life for those of you with cameras.
Hope this is enough info for you. Oh and don't forget your diver's down flag, its the law.

, and your very close to some of the best diving the state offers. And the best part is, you can drive a relatively short distance in various directions, while alot of us must fly to enjoy warm water destinations. Although, I've never dived West Palm, Though I have several others not to far, both salt and fresh. I'm from Clearwater Beach, which you can shore dive many places, (too numerous to list all), for just the cost of air/tanks. I've also enjoyed Ft. Lauderdale, with many reefs and wrecks. I recommend; PRO DIVE, for boat dives, very professional with a 65' great boat. I don't know what you consider pricey, but I found them very reasonable. check out their site;
