clpkab: just thought of one other suggestion if you are staying in Ft Lauderdale, have a rental car, don't mind a bit of a drive and are really in desperate need of a dive.....
Disney's Epcot center in Orlando has the second largest aquarium in N. America and they do dives each day. It is a unique experience: I dove it about a month ago. For me, it was more of a bucket list dive: while I enjoyed it, I won't rush back, but then again, I live near world class diving in Jupiter, WPB, Lauderdale and a short hop to the Keys. While Epcot normally desires you to reserve before you arrive, I simply did a walk up and they included me in a group that day. It is a bit expensive given it is only a 40 minute dive, but since you're not spending a bunch of money on dive boats this weekend, you probably have the coin to spare.
By the way, you don't have to buy Disney tickets to do the dive. Although a bit of time in Disney might be a decent way to spend the day since you won't be diving in the ocean. I am not a big Diseny fan, which is why I did the dive while my wife wandered around Epcot.
