My wife and I each have one, and it meets our needs for our diving perfectly. It’s easy to use, easy to read, doesn’t cost much etc. I like it. If something happened to mine for some reason, I’d definitely buy one again without hesitation.

There were a few places that stood out, depending on what you are looking for. We did lunch one day at this place in Pompano called "Burgers and Suds", and it was great. A true "hole in the wall" kind of place, not a real beachy place at all...but awesome burgers and food in general, as well...

It's definitely frustrating. When I originally scheduled that Wednesday trip with ScubaTyme, he told me we were the only ones scheduled for the day, but that most of the time people signed up at the last minute. However, even though he said he typically requires 4 to go out, he said that even...

We weren't staying in a hotel. My family rented a house over in the Hillsboro Shores area, a short walk to the beach. 5-6 min drive from the marina. Our beach access was right by the lighthouse actually. I'd like to do a night dive. Just didn't have the time.

So it has been a little while since we returned from our trip down to Pompano, but I wanted to give an overview of everything for anyone that is just interested, or may plan to go there in the future etc. The short of it all for anyone that doesn't care about the details is that the trip was...

Good to know, we will definitely be prepared. Not sure if we will be inshore or offshore yet, it will just depend on where the best bites are at around the time we go.

Hey, thanks for the info. We aren't really diving extremely deep...the wrecks we have on the schedule for now are united Caribbean, sea emperor, and Copenhagen. Those first two bottom out at around 70ft I've read, which is within the realm of what we've done before. Those 3 trips are about as...

BHB is definitely on our list of dives to do, but with the week everyone in our group has scheduled, I don't know that we'll get to it on this trip. When we first started planning this family vacation, we were going to be staying up around Vero, and driving down for diving in the West Palm...

Thanks. Yeah, my wife and I have about 20 dives. We did our checkout dives in the Fl Springs, but other than that most of our dives have been within the 40-80ft range...with dives ranging from local quarries to a few charters we did down in Cozumel. One of the things I'm liking the more I...

We will be down July 15-22.

I'll check them out. My knee jerk was Pompano Dive Center due to so many positive reviews I've read, but I'll definitely look in to these guys. We've made no commitments yet on a charter operation.

I read their site info on the wrecks, and I've looked at other sites for info on the reefs. They all sound good...just asking for input from people that have been there/done that etc. I'm sure we will have a good time either way, but if we happen to be in a position to choose sites, I just...

I like the sound of all of that! I'm hoping everything turns out well weather wise etc... I always enjoy being in the water, but seeing anything like you mention would just be icing on the cake. I've always wanted to see a manta ray. I'd also like to see a dolphin while diving. (we surfaced...

Thanks or the input, I'll have to check some of these places out. I did see some dive footage of the United Caribbean, so I'm interested in that one. There are also a couple of reefs I found that may be worth checking out as well. (Sunkist Reef, Turtle Ledge). I'm definitely looking forward...

Hello all, my family and I just booked a vacation house for a week in July down in Pompano. I've never been to this area, but the vacation/beach house we've rented seems to be in a great location for access to diving...we're right near the beach by the Hillsboro inlet, just a little south of...

Similar sentiment here, but with my five month old son. Haven't been able to dive at all for the past year, but planning a family vacation for next year to either the Jupiter/Juno Beach, Fl area or the Keys, so lots of my recent diving research has been for those places. Grandparents are...

It's done. Just ordered a puck. Said it was from leisure pro earlier, but that was a mistake...actually ordered from scuba.com. Got a good deal on it, and since I'm already familiar with it, and especially for my purposes, I'm sure it will work out just fine.

Fair enough. Thanks for the explanation.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Seems like their specialty training organization is IDEA, but with that there is no online portion, all class work. They do Padi as well though, so we could go that route to get our AOW book work done before the trip. Just don't really want to be in a classroom...

Sounds good. So far they meet all of what we are looking for. So I'm assuming the sites they frequent are a little less populated in general then? How do the sites around then compare with what's in Key Largo? I've looked at photos of the resort...hard to tell, but as long as it's clean...
