Ft Lauderdale/Pompano Beach dive operator

[scubadada]

Hi ScubaBoard friends,

I will be attending a meeting and staying in Ft Lauderdale the 2nd week in June. I will have several days free for diving. I would really appreciate your suggestions regarding a dive operator. I am a reasonably experienced and skilled diver. I've done some diving in Jupiter and a fair amount in Key Largo but am unfamiliar with Ft Lauderdale/Pompano Bch.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions. I'm looking forward to this opportunity.

Good diving, Craig

Several free days to me means you can do two boats (four dives) on one day and Two boats another day.

For a complete tour and education about Florida diving, Reef, Critters, etc Drive a bit north to Boyton Beach to jump off Underwater Explorers AKA "Kev's Boat"

Hit some wrecks in Fort Lauderdale off of Parrot Island.

If you can only do one of these I'd do Underwater Explorers it is more like one of those.. My buddy has a boat and I flip him $60.00 for fuel we go out all the time he is a great guy" kinda deals, AS opposed to "take your ticket follow the loading gates to your left" Sign Overhead reads.. "Now boarding diver number 37" Your ticket reads Seat 52 Starboard Seat F ---

Hi Orlando Eric,

You guessed that right. I'd like to do 4 dives Sat 6/6 and 4 dives Sun 6/7. I'm still scheming on finding another half day or 2 during my meeting 6/8-10. Thanks for the information, I'll look into Parrot Island and Underwater Explorers. This is a good start.

More suggestions welcome.

Good diving, Craig

FWIW, I'm a fan of Parrot Island Scuba, but IMO having their default webpage automatically play music is a little over the top. Hopefully, newer versions of browser software will begin to address this...

Does Underwater Explorers rent tanks? Can I rinse my gear at their dock and store it there overnight?

 

[scubadada]

All,

Thanks for the hints, looks like I have 2 good operators to look into, perhaps a day or more with each. Additional suggestions still welcome.

Good diving, Craig

Guess I lucked out, don't get the music on the Parrot Island website

Yes, they rent tanks, yes you can rinse it at the dock. You will have to email or PM Kevin to see about storing your gear. He is Scubakevdm here on the board.
