Ft. Lauderdale Dive Boats Banter

[ReneeC]

Ok - I know you said Ft. Lauderdale but you did list Pompano and Deerfield so what about North Dade or even Miami area? Separate list or make this a South Florida Dive Boat list ..... ? There is some great operators just 20 minutes south of Ft. Laud. plus a whole bunch of new wrecks and reefs to explore.

Does anyone mind if I merge this information with the Insiders information thread?

 

[mgersch@cox.net]

Thats a pretty big list. So who do you use?
It would be useful if the list had a rating like:
Highly Reccomended, Reccomended, Average, Never again.

How does one choose what boat to dive with? Shouldn't there be some rating system?

 

[Scuba_Jenny]

wb, you are probably right, there should be a rating system, however....there are so many dive boats down here, if one gets mentioned as top notch, I would believe it....
My pick? Diversity outa Deerfield Beach, Splashdowndivers in Boynton, ParrotIsland Scuba outa Pompano.

When I put the list together it was based on input from everyone here - I asked for thier recommendations.

It might be tough to get an agreed upon ranking. For example I too like Parrot Island, but prefer the Deeper Fleet in Boynton. It's all pretty subjective, but someone here liked them or they wouldn't have been put on the list.

Someone has also raised the question about keeping Scubatyme on the list given Mike's experience with them this past weekend.

Keep them on with the bad info included so that new divers know to stay clear of them for the time being, at least.
