Fort Lauderdale Recommendations

[Ready4Launch]

Will be in Fort Lauderdale March 5th & 6th, and looking to do 2 days of diving. Looking for recommendations for a guide/boat/buddies as I will be by myself, and I am not from Florida.

99% of my diving has been the Channel Islands in California. I am only PADI Open Water and not Advanced yet. I'm just eager to get underwater and blow bubbles again!

What do you recommend?

Just north of Ft Lauderdale is Pompano. I like Pompano Dive Center, South Florida Dive HQ and Scubatyme. Another alternative is to call Gold Coast Scuba or Force-E and describe the sort of dive you want to do and either shop can find the appropriate boat. Neither operates it's own charter. If you don't like the boat inst-buddy route, you can hire a guide from any of the charters or shops.

I'm doing my AOW through my LDS in NC, but we are going down to FL next month for the checkout dives to get to warmer water. Going out with Pompano Dive Center. Looking forward to it

Thanks DiverSteve for the shoutout. Dates were changed and we buddied up today. Bit bumpy out, but once below 30', things cleared up decent and the diving was good.
