Lauderdale by the sea June 11th and 12th

A few of us are driving from Fort Myers to LBTS Friday night and plan on doing 4-6 beach dives over sat and sun. I have been looking at all the sites listed for LBTS but would like to meet up with some local divers to make sure we have the best and safest areas. We will be in the area or Datura Ave on Sat and may just do all the dives in that area. Hope to see some of you this weekend.

Right now the forecasts are showing really nice conditions for weekend diving at Datura. I'm pretty sure the Gold Coast Scuba meetup group has dives scheduled there on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and a beach dive on the Copenhagen wreck followed by a birthday party for one of the group - also on Sunday. Check their site at:Gold Coast Scuba Divers (954) 616-5909 (Fort Lauderdale, FL) - Meetup

Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks for the info. I went to the site and looks like very good info. We are planning to meet up with a couple of the groups over the weekend. Hope it's ok if we just show up???

I'd contact the Gold Coast folks ahead of time, just so they know you're coming and will watch for you at the beach (it can get a bit crowded there on weekends when the diving conditions are nice). The membership fee is free for the first two weeks' trial, so there's no downside for you to join the group.

The party dive is RSVP because they've made reservations and special parking arrangements at the dive site (a restaurant a couple of miles north of Datura Ave.)

Planned to drive home to Savannah this morning, but checked the LBTS webcam. Looked promising, so I drove down from BHB Blvd., found a parking spot, pumped in 3.5 hours worth of quarters, carted my tank up to the shower area, and saw a gaggle of divers commiserating on the beach. Inquired about the viz on their dive and was told 3-4 ft. Rats. Made somebody's day with my abandoned parking spot. . .

Oh, well. Gave me some time to futz around with some pics from there a couple of weeks ago.

Considering that it's been blowing for 3 weeks +, 3-4 ft vis ain't bad!
