I have searched the threads and did find a little info but not really enough to answer my question(s). I am early planning my annual Florida trip and thought to dive this by shore entry. I know it is a good swim and it is possible I might reconsider now with my advanced age of 61 .
But, in the event I decide to give it a go, what is the best place to enter the water? What is the best place to park and alternates for parking my rental vehicle?
I am also considering the Pompano Drop Off from shore and of course I plan to dive the Datura entry at Commercial Boulevard and probably the BHB. I am fairly familiar with the later two. I have swam to the 60 foot drop from Datura several times and used my kayak there. Alas, I will have no provisions for kayak assisted shore diving this trip.
Any other (and updated) information regarding these and similar shore dives would be appreciated. Thanks in advance and everyone have a great Memorial Day and thank you veterans for your service.
