I would also go with the West Palm Beach vote. I'm from Orlando and we go over there a lot. Easy diving and nice boat charters.

Underwater Explorers in Boyton Beach, Kevin runs the op, is the DM in the water with you and frequents this board.

I wholeheartedly agree with this recommendation - Kevin is top-notch and will make sure you have some great dive in the WPB/Boynton area!

I think one of the best dives and safest operators I have dove with over there was the Biscayne National Park operation. They do a wall dive and several shallow coral patch dives. I have yet to have a bad dive there. I took my Grand daughter, 14 at the time over and she really enjoyed. Give them a try. Its on your way back from the Keys.
