RBJ (I believe), this is the site of two wrecks in about 270ft: I´ve only dived it once but the "space-blue" colour of the water as you swim underneath the hulls of the two wrecks will propably stay with me forever...to bad that you spend a long time hanging because of the depth...

The RBJ (Ronald B. Johnson) lies on top the Chris and Corey (a dredge, I think).
 
Hydro: Nice, relaxed dive and because of the depth you can spend a long time on her rooting thru the holds without ridiculous deco...

Lowrance: I don´t know why but I really like the (few) dives I´ve done there...it almost always looks "undisturbed"...

The Lowrance and the RBJ are two of my favorites. The story goes that the Corry & Chris was sunk first and the RBJ years later. The RBJ was supposed to be a mile or so away, but broke loose duing the sinking and ended up on top of the C&C by accident. Being on top of the C&C, you can swim underneath the RBJ's hull and come out the other side.
 
I'll second the Duane. Both times I have dove it it was glassy calm, no current, no wind. We could see the wreck from the surface and had a few 'cudas hanging on the line. A great dive that I can't wait to do again!
 
Bibb 137' just makes it.Usually clear, reasonably fishy for the Keys.Had lot of big encounters there...spotted eagle rays,bull sharks,jewfish,tarpon,snook,stingrays.Always has lost dive gear to hide or give away.

Queen of Nassau 230'.Very fishy,vis is 15' to 30' @ the sand but may be much better higher.Tons o' jewfish,buddy saw a huge sawfish there this summer,big specimens of the local species abound.Hammerheads and pelagics on deco make it exciting.

Both can and normally do have screaming current.
 
Zion Train off Jupiter when the Goliath Grouper are there in number - you can see 50+ real good size on that wreck, plus there are 2 more wrecks in the same location you can do as 1 dive - less than 90 ft.

Gotta 2nd Doc de Milly and one close to it, Blue Fire off Miami - I just did the Jim Atria; we had great viz, but its deep (130' at the sand) and we did not see any thing "big" - given the viz and the conditions, I thought we would because there is not much around it.

The shallow wrecks off Miami - specifically Key Biscayne - are also good - FL is great for wrecks and diving in general - its not Truk, but for local diving it can't be beat.
