In Florida I rarely show up with a dive buddy and have never had a problem. On trips in SE FL most dives are drift and you just stay within sight of the DM but then I’m a photographer and we make bad buddies because we are looking for subjects and not keeping an eye on our buddy.
There are usually divers from DB on Jupiter Dive Center trips but if you need a buddy just tell the crew and they will pair you off with someone they trust.
Pura Vida has a night dive Aug 2nd at Blue Heron Bridge, you need to register at the shop first so you can park in the park after closing, the dive its self is free and there you will need to enter with a buddy which is a good idea anyhow if you haven’t done BHB before.

Thank you, gentlemen!
I’m actually out of town for the BHB night dive then have my kids the Pompano dive weekend, but please keep the recommendations coming. I greatly appreciate all your insights! :0)

I have not found a state in the US (including FL) that I have had any issue booking a spot on a charter boat as a solo diver.
I always call in person, tell them that I am coming without a buddy, and ask if that is an issue. I have never been told that was an issue, and I have always been buddied up once I was on the charter.
To further place your mind at ease, I’m a guy. I guarantee if you solo sign up on a charter boat guys will be tripping over their fins volunteering to be your buddy:)
Have fun!
