Hi Frank, as of now we are planning to be using a charter boat. We are using South Florida Diving HDQ. You can do shore diving, just make sure you have a dive flag. If your new to Florida Diving definitely check out all the springs dive spots! They are awesome! Divers direct used to have a book I bought yrs ago that has every single dive spot in Florida. From all the springs, to reefs, ship wrecks, to shore diving spots with each geographic location.
