Dive shops in Fort Lauderdale?

[chrispina]

I know about Diver's Direct, but is there anywhere else I should go to browse and put my hands on a bunch of different gear? Favorite spot for bargain finds? We have a free day before we head to Key Largo and I am itching to shop!

If you have a vehicle go a tad bit north and hit Force-E Pompano. That would be another large shop with lots of inventory.

Pompano Beach Scuba Shop - Force-E Scuba Center

Pompano Beach's Locals Dive Shop since 1976. We treat our customers like we run our business, like family. Dive Like a Local.

I think there are also a couple of shops in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. I’ve never been to either personally. Aqui and Gold Coast are the names I believe.

Divegearexpress.com. No store front but great gear, prices, and people.

Are you going to Key Largo for lobster mini-season ??

Aqui Watersports in Lauderdale by the sea. They probably don't have the inventory that divers direct does, but they carry great gear and have a super knowledgeable staff!

You can't look at and handle the merchandise. You can see all of it online, order it, and pick it up at the front desk. I have done this many times when in Florida and in a hurry to have my new equipment. Their service is superlative

We are going for an adaptive dive camp with Home - Adapt-Able Foundation | Adapt-Able Scuba Diving

My dad is a divemaster with the organization and my son and I are tagging along.

Force E has several shops, I know the one on Blue Heron Blvd has a good inventory of gear. I do not think they are a Scubapro dealer but I saw about everything else in their stores. And, at least for the one at BHB, they are friendly and knowledgeable. I have used them a number of time to support my dives there at BHB.

We have everything booked through Rainbow Reef. Kiddo and I are doing our AOW dives. We've gone with them before and had a great experience.
