The Sunshine State is blessed with mild weather, lush tropical scenery and, most importantly, an abundance of coastal waters -- some 4,300 square miles in total, washing along nearly 1,200 miles of sandy shores. Divers will find an embarassment of riches both offshore and inland, ranging from the tropical reefs studding the Keys and  the southern portion of the state, to the teeming sea life of the Gulf of Mexico, to the hidden wonders of the state's crystal-clear springs.

Venice
Ancient shark teeth abound on the sea floor here, making it a popular spot for natural treasure hunters. From the Venice Pier you'll want to swim about about 150 yards, then look for the so-called black sand about 20-25 feet deep, or you can catch a boat to the Bone Pit off Casperson Beach. More
Spotted Moray, Boynton Ledges
Boynton Beach
Lying just south of West Palm Beach, 55 miles due west of Grand Bahama Island, Boynton Beach is one of Florida's best kept dive secrets. Clear blue water and coral-encrusted natural and artifical reefs conspire to delight divers a mere 30-minute boat ride from shore. Nurse sharks, sea turtles and parrotfish are among the denizens of Vo-Ne's Reef, while grouper and barracuda tend to congregate at the wrecks of the Capt. Tony and Budweiser Bar. More
Key West’s Vandenberg
USS Vandenburg
Though only sunk in 2009, the Vandy is already a main attraction for both divers and sea life frequenting the waters off Key West. The world's second-longest artifical reef, the 523-foot-long ship lies 140 feet deep, though its main deck is about 90 feet under the surface. While navigating the schools of yellowtail snapper, keep an eye out for bait balls, arrow crabs, nascent coral -- and the Conch Republic flag. More
Florida springs snorkeling
Ginnie Springs
Deep in the North Florida interior you'll find a quartet of pristine springs: Devil's Ear, Devil's Eye, Little Devil and the eponymous Ginnie. The highlight here is Ginnie's Ballroom, a treaure trove of  geologic formations; brace yourself against the grate to feel the power of the 35 million gallons of water that fill the spring every day. And don't miss the otherwordly effect of the tea-stained current from the Santa Fe River mingling with the crystal-clear spring water in Devil's Ear. More
Scuba Diving Magazine
USS Spiegel Grove
Measuring a whopping 510 feet long, this former military vessel has become a bona fide reef since its 2002 sinking, with a thick mantle of coral and a healthy population of fish. The ship rests on the sea floor at a depth of 134 feet, with its wheelhouse topping out at 60 feet; this is not a wreck for novice divers. But intrepid souls with the proper training will enjoy the challenge of finning around the massive ship. More
