You might also consider West Palm Beach.....the Gulf Stream swings in within 
a few hundred yards of shore, so relatively deep effortless drift diving is 
readily available.  They drop you in with a divemaster towing a float, the 
boat follows the float, and when you surface, there it is!  Nothing could be 
easier.
The Gulf Stream causes a lot of the deeper oceanic fishes to be very close to 
shore....very picturesque.  They have some very nice wreck dives as well.  I 
stayed at the Mariott on Singer Island.....very nice towels, if you know what 
I mean.....
