Most local dive operations have no problem with collecting. Remember
that Florida law requires a salt water fishing license (any Walmart) for
live collecting, and S. gigas is off limits.
The finest diving is the Boynton ledge, and the best operators there are
Splashdown (561-736-0712) and Starfish Enterprise (561-212-2954).
Diversity in Deerfield, SeaHorse in Pompano, and Miss Conduct in
Lauderdale are also very good.
