I dragged him down to PCBeach once, only to have bad conditions and a
less than admirable private 6-pack operator and an inexperienced DM (who
was sent to anchor us to a barge, only to succeed in tying us off to a
dumpster).  So that didn't help matters any.

But I have done 2 dives in Lauderdale and know that it's much better
than PCB; not quite CZM but viz and temps better, and shorter boat
trips.  He might just tolerate that without too much griping :-)

But I've never done Boynton or WPB, can only speak for Lauderdale.  You
may have even nicer sites to dive for what little (extremely little) I
know.

So if it is to happen, at least count me in.  I liked it much better
than the Gulf, even on a good day.  And I have no clue if my one day
diving there was a "good" day or not.
