I have a trip planned in Oct. for Pompano Beach, and I'd like to get some input on what are the "Not to be missed" sites, places to go, etc. It'll just be me diving, though my wife may want to go out on the boat once or twice.
My plan is to be there the week of Columbus Day: a couple days in Pompano, then a couple days in the Keys to finish up my wreck diving cert., then back to Pompano.
What operators would you recommend, or not? I prefer small, family owned businesses (and boats) as I feel they give more back to support the local economy. So far it seems as if Parrot Island Scuba is one of the few, if not only, 6 pack boats in the area, and I like the fact that they are within walking distance of where I'll be staying.
If I go north to Boynton Beach, Underwater Explorers came highly recommended and looks good; how could they not when their DM is named Kevin???? Is it worth the drive to go that far north, when there is SOOOO much to do in the Pompano area?
Force E seems to have a great reputation and nice shops, but they don't own their boats.
BHB is one site that needs to on the list - what else?
TIA,
Kevin
