Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I believe that this venue may be connected to the Port Everglades, which has been locked down tight since 911.

Hi! I just want to say this is a great resource for me. I plan to take up diving and take underwater photography and self-publish them with Authorhouse. Really looking forward to meeting new scuba diving friends. God bless y'all!

In case you'd like to self-publish too, Here are some nice resources:

Hey Jim
Just reading your 1000 Island report. Can't reply because I am not a member of the group lol oh well. Wanted to say glad you enjoyed the diving here! It is loads of fun! And as far as exposure protection we got all kinds here - from people diving 7mm shorties, farmer johns and drysuits. Forget about dive gloves - cheap hardware store kind work great at this temp and you don't care if they get wrecked. Take care and dive safe

Hiya Jim, just saw you were online too so I thought I'd give a shout....after reading Eugene's write up, I'm wondering what I've gotten myself signed up for! Should be fun by the end of the w/e regardless or at least an opportunity to laugh at myself!

you suggested using baby shapmoo in my mask to help with the fogging problem...worked beautifully! it was so nice to not have to flood and clear every few minutes or so! thanks so much for the advice! (I tested this out when cleaning my pool earlier today! haha!)
