Hi, I'm in Miami (Doral area) and am looking for ways to continue diving. I moved here half an year ago, and wasn't too sure how to go about planning things in Miami. I did go down to Frogman dive shop, where I got some tips..
The tips I got was to call individual ship owners and to see if they'd go out to sea on a specific date. Well, quite frankly as I'm still trying to learn my way around Miami, I wasn't too sure if I'm ready to be chartering my own ships right away.
I also heard (and read in these forums) that there are a bunch of dive operations in ft. Lauderdale. I was thinking maybe I could do some beach dives there without the boat charter cost. I only have basic wetsuit+mask+fin so just renting equipment makes diving not a cheap task.
Anyway, my question is, is beach dives from ft. Lauderdale really the cheaper deal? Or are there better ways to do it in the Miami zone?
