Charters in West Palm Beach / Fort Lauderdale?

[BradfordNC]

Anyone have any info on good charter boats out of the West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Key Largo area?

Am looking to get away for a weekend and do some diving in the sunshine state.

Also, what are some good wrecks to dive in these areas?

Do a search on "Fort Lauderdale" and on "Deerfield Beach", there's been several reviews posted. There are literally hundreds of boats in the areas you mentioned. You might also check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/E-DIVERS/ for much discussion of South Florida diving.

For Key Largo, again, a quick search should keep you reading for hours.

I've used others as well, but these are on my "recommended" list.
The above sites also list wrecks and dive sites to varying degrees.

This is a good wreck reference site, as well as other dive sites. Click on the Dive Sites button.

That should keep you busy for awhile.

Here's a link to a short trip report I posted in June. It briefly describes the boat and the typical trips it makes. Sea Horse

And here's his Website

The only other operation I have been on in Pompano/Ft Lauderdale is South Florida Diving Headquarters. They operate 2 large (45 ft?) cats and a 12 pack.

I dove with both operations for a week each, and I have to give the nod to the Seahorse.

we use JASA or Diving Solutions in WPB. Both good ops. but can be a bit crowded on weekends.

We use the Rampage in West Palm Beach. Captain Bob is the greatest. He knows his waters and will make sure you have great dives.
