Diving in Miami, Nov. 2008

Hey all!

I'm stuck in Kansas for awhile yet, but I'm going to Miami for the National Wildlife Society meeting November 8-12th! A big group from the local student chapter is going to drive the 24+ hours there and then back again a week later! I only have a day or two max for diving, so what would you guys suggest? I really want to do a wreck dive and night dive, and being able to see manatees would make my day! The details of the conference will not be posted until June, so I don't know where we are staying, etc., but I want to get started looking and getting some prices figured out so I know how much money to save up in addition to registration, food, and travel expenses!

Any other info about fun things to do in the area are always welcome! I don't think anybody else in the student group scuba dives, so I may be looking for a dive buddy later!

Thanks!
