As a follow up to my dive at the Pompano Drop Off I dove the Lauderdale by the Sea Reef. This reef is found off the end of Commercial Blvd. I dove to the south of the pier though I understand this site also has diving access to the north of the pier. Now, I will not post pics of the reef because they are so similar to those I just posted for the PDO, however, I want ot say, this is a pretty reef and an easier dive with less swim required.
Here is the site:
I believe I parked at the Datura Ave. parking lot.
Here is what it looked like:
The Commercial Blvd Pier as viewed looking north from the access point:
Great dive here, notice the dive flag marking the entrance and also on the Google Map. The reef here is not as far as the PDO Reef. While very similar I felt this reef did not have quite as much life, probably due to it's proximity to shore. OK, OK, one pic, here is a typical scene along the reef break, very colorful fish and lot's of whips and fans and that sorta thing:
