My wife has not shore dove in Florida other than BHB. So we are coming down and trying these dive sites. We are staying on the beach - Ocean Treasure Beachside and have access to as many tanks as we can use - I am hoping for 2 to 4 dives a day.

Shore diving Monday through Thursday.
Blue Heron Bridge -
Boynton Beach Ocean Park Reef - Parking and not very deep -
Deerfield Beach pier - Turtle Reef north of pier -
Pompano Beach pier - Suzannes Ledge -
SS Copenhagen wreck - LBTS - reefs run north and south
Dania Beach Pier - Erojacks
Perry Street Rockpile - Perry Street rocks are north and south

Boat dive on Friday
Lucky Fish Scuba LLC - Brentwood and 2 reefs

Figure dive BHB a few times in the morning and then hit the sites late morning or afternoon. Maybe a night dive or two as well.
I will have my truck so we can travel. Would you pick any other shore dive sites? I have access to two dpv's so if the current is not ripping we should be able to make most if not all of these sites. During the week I am thinking I should not have an issue parking.

Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.
 
If you are staying in LBTS why not dive the reef by Anglin Pier? Quite a lot to see here.
 
Yep that is one stop or more - since it is outside the hotel and straight East - I figured that was when I could and I wanted to try a few more sites just to see what else was out there.
 
You definitely have a nice list. I would recommend the other beach portals in LBTS besides Datura, or even down towards Loggerhead Park, or Fort Lauderdale Beach in front of Sunrise.
 
You have a reasonable chance of being blown out by the seas. I would suggest you consider some plan B's that include some boat dives.

Actually I have a question related to being blown out. Are you talking rip currents or waves? If it is waves - wouldn't the boats be blown out too? The waves would not bother me but they would definitely bother my wife.
Thanks
