I have been diving year-round in SE Florida since 2009, Boynton Beach, Jupiter, and West Palm. Sea conditions in later fall, winter, and earlier spring can result in significant loss of diving days. The water temp can be lower than many would expect. Most all the diving is drift. Most operators in Jupiter and West Palm put a guide in the water, not in Boynton Beach. There are no all-in-one dive resorts .Thanks for all the great advice folks. Rethinking the trip and looking at the Jupiter area.
That being said, the diving in SE Florida is very good and can be amazing. I have nearly 1300 dives there and never tire of the variety and diversity. There are many reviews here in the Florida Forum. If you click on one of the Trip Report icons, only the trip reports in the forum will be displayed.
Being very familiar with the area and the operators, I can easily hustle and find an operator when conditions are not perfect, a casual visitor does not have that advantage.
Best of luck for your dive trip with your daughter, nothing like diving with your family.
