Shore Diving - Indian River/St Lucie/Fort Pierce

[Joy-S]

I live in Palm Bay & we have 4 certified Open Water divers me, my boyfriend & 2 of his children (ages 18 & 15) it gets pricey getting on dive boats.

Are there any good shore diving spots between Palm Bay (Brevard County) and West Palm? We really enjoy Blue Heron Bridge but I'm looking for some ideas and advice on someplace closer.

Thanks!!

Here's a site that has information on shore dives around the state: there are dive sites in Ft Pierce and Vero: I've never dove them but I understand they are weather dependent. Scuba Shore Diving Site Listing for: Florida, USA East

Another SB member has indicated that there is a dive club in Vero on Facebook: you might want to search that out.

You'll probably find this shop to be very helpful regarding local diving up your way: Deep Six - Reef Sandals, Costa Del Mar Sunglasses, PADI books

Don't know what your cash situation is like, but many dive ops like Jupiter Dive Center offer pre-paid dive cards that are significantly cheaper, per dive, then paying as you go. I've purchased these prepaid cards several times over the last couple of years and got almost a years worth of diving in Jupiter for $46 per trip: nice deal.....

Saint Lucie county diver here. I give you quick updates on local water conditions and love to dive here. A lot of area knowledge and always looking to go. I have a boat and only ask for help with pricey fuel. I'll buy ice and maybe a pineapple if needed.

Let me know,

Melbourne resident here....

If you are going to check out Jupiter diving, I HIGHLY suggest you check out CAPT SL8R Dive Charters!!!! They run an outstanding dive operation!!!!
Also, have you ever checked out any of our springs? There are awesome sites, fairly close by. Blue Springs is about the same distance as West Palm, but to the North, in Orange City. Then in the Ocala area, there is Devil's Den, Blue Grotto and Paradise Springs.....all which are open to "Open Water" certified divers.
