You might not want to go outside in Florida. You are more likely to get hit by lightning than bitten by a shark.
I have been spearfishing and catching lobster off of Port Canaveral for over 10 years. The only type of sharks that I have seen there have nurse sharks. That doesn't mean other sharks weren't around. Occurrences of Great Whites off of Florida's coast have been happening more frequently over the recent years. There was a long period of time that I would tell other divers there's Great Whites in Florida's waters and they didn't believe me.
Diving off of Port Canaveral is different than diving in the clear waters of south Florida. We dive in 60' to 80' of water approximately 25 miles offshore. Most of the boats my friends take out are 25' or larger with 2 outboards. We have 4 divers on board and we dive with 2 up and 2 down.
My friends have locations marked in a GPS (Louran some time ago). We would head out and find the reefs. We would mark the reef with large bright jugs filled with foam. You check out the reef line on a fish finder for a ways and you throw your second buoy a distance down the reef. You usually have clear water in the top 20'. The visibility is usually 5' or less down to approximately 15' to 20' off the bottom. On the bottom the visibility is usually in the 5' to 20' range. The bottom contains a very fine silt and you loose visibility if you stir it up.
You don't see pretty corals on these reefs. They are made of cocania rock. We would get lots of door mat flounder. Groupers, Snappers, Cobia, Jacks and lots of other fish. There were so many Sheephead that we concidered them trash fish and we didn't waste our time with them.
Most of the time we catch our limit of lobster. The lobster are usually medium to large. Sometimes we would hunt at night. The water temperatures on these reefs were usually cold. The average temperatures are in the 60's to low 70's. It was always nice to see the clear warmer water towards the surface on safety stops.

Interestingly enough Katherine is Great White Shark around 15' long who was last tracked on May 8th, 2015 around Port Canaveral when this video was made.
