Looking for a dive buddy in Fort Lauderdale

[SycoCell121]

I'm looking for a dive buddy in Fort lauderdale. I moved down here 8 months ago and haven't been diving since due to my work schedule (pilot). Most of my friends don't dive and the ones that do make it tough to schedule with. I'm advanced/nitrox. I've done most of my diving in caverns and springs in Northern florida with the occasion ocean dives scattered around. I'm 23 and don't consume much air, so bottom times are great! Let me know if you want to dive!

I dive a lot. Mostly with my partner, Kevin, and/or my children (all your age-ish). I/we dive Pompano pretty often. I am always open to diving with new people and would be happy to have you along, but it is rare that I dive without Kevin as my primary dive buddy. these days. Hopefully you can find someone a little more local to you, a little closer in age, perhaps? and someone who is also seeking a primary dive buddy. Good luck!

Take a look at joining Gold Coast Scuba in Lauderdale by the Sea. The Meetup group is very active and you'll meet lots of dive buddies via the group.

Hey man,

I live in Deerfield Beach, but I occasionally explore Fort Lauderdale. Send me an e-mail Info@SinkFloridaSink.com and I'll keep you posted on future outings I plan on doing.
Also, on Facebook, join the group called "Florida Dive Buddies." I met two buddies on there.

If you like night dives, you can check out Dixie Divers of Deerfield Beach for their free Wednesday dives. I've gone to 5 of these and meet different people each time.

I'll buddy up with ya with a little advanced notice. I live in central FL and try to drive down to Jupiter / Palm beach area to dive once a month. I'm OW nitrox. My dive times on 70-80' jupiter dives is usually around 40 min or so on air (just got nitrox). I usually get down fast, spend close to 30 min on the bottom, then a slow ascent to 40, hang out for a min or 2, then a slow ascent to 20 for a full safety stop, pop an smb, then get back on the boat. May or may not puke during the SI depending on seas. :yuck:

I plan on picking up a couple of steel HP100's now that I'm nitrox certified to extend the bottom times a little.

Awesome guys, thanks! Sorry, been on a trip for a week and haven't been able to access my computer. I'll start sending out some messages. That night diving thing up in Deerfield looks pretty neat. Is it a shore dive? Lets get to diving!

Sink: thanks for the lead on this night dive: I called the shop and it sounds fun. I'm going to give this a try in the next few weeks.
