Weather:
Miami air: 18-32°C, water: 24-29°C in season. Bring a wetsuit for cold days, but only a few days is it necessary. Season is October to April. From October to February the water temperature will go from 79-60°F if we get a cold front, so bring a wetsuit if you get cold on this kind of weather, also bring diving shoes to protect your feet from stingrays or sea urchins. From March to June the water will be at 75-80°F so a wetsuit is not necessary.
