Pompano Beach Charters?

[Lrv0604]

I am going to be in Ft. Lauderdale the weekend of the 9th in January and wanted to see if anyone can recommend a good charter to go out with in either Ft Lauderdale or Pompano Beach, and which area do you prefer to dive?

Out of Pompano Beach, there are five primary charters:
Parrot Island Scuba (two boats)
Avid Diver Charters (six-pack)
Miss Conduct (six-pack)
Scubatyme
South Florida Dive Headquarters

Out of Fort Lauderdale, there are just two:
American Dream II
Hammertime

While there is good reef diving, Broward's major claim to fame is its wreck diving.

Parrot Island Scuba
I rarely go on other people's boats anymore, but this op is ok.

Well, Scubatyme's DM is pretty cute but I'm with Tom, I like Parrot Island the best (and I've dove with all of these charters more than once).

A little drive to Lantana gives you Starfish (idivestarfish.com)
Good boat, and Capt. Craig is willing to work with the passengers to make the trip fun.

Lantana huh?? Sounds like fun, just saw the pics and they look incredible!
On my to do list....
How do they feel about single divers???
Thanks for the advice....

This past Thanksgiving morning I had the pleasure of going out on Miss Conduct.
Had a great time and sure wish I was there right now.

Hammertime

I dove off the Hammertime about a month ago and had a blast! The boat was roomy and the staff seemed top notch. Becuase I was coming from out of town, I booked well in advance and because I booked first, they selected the sites for the day around my dive buddy and my interests (we did 4 dives on a Saterday)... We did 3 drift dives on shallow reefs and a tour of 3 wrecks that are close together (the Scutti, Tracey & Merci Jesus)

For the record, I'm a NEWBIE, so I don't have anything to compare the expereince to; but i was not disappointed! Ask for Carolyn if you want to ask some questions (954) 572-2642 or check them out on the Web at Home - Scuba Emporium Florida

Starfish is good for single divers. Craig will set you up with someone else on board, or if you dive with them often enough (as I have) they tend to let you do your own thing.
