I love planning future dive trips. Never been to Miami, and never dove in Florida. I'm thinking that since the airfare from LA is real cheap to Miami it might be a nice quick dive vacation. Could someone help me with some questions?
First, since they're predicting a worse hurricane season this year than last, I probably wouldn't go until after October or so, or maybe spring of '06. Any thoughts on when I should shoot for? I assume that prices probably skyrocket in the winter.
Second, the kind of diving I'm looking for is easy, shallow reefs (< 60ft.), no wrecks, and beach diving if possible. Does that match what's available in south Florida or the Keys?
Third, could someone give a general comparison of the diving sites in south Florida, in terms of what to expect, how long are the boat rides, how's the visibility, etc.
I'd sure appreciate any info. Thanks.
