Need Advice w/ Dive Shops in Florida

[PoloBear01]

Hi everyone,

I will be moving to Florida on Aug 22 and since this will be my first time in Miami. Will be staying in the Miam Shores area near Barry University. I'm looking for a good dive shop or dive charter for great diving rates and services. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Personally I like H2O scuba which is just up the road from shores. A small shop that specializes in ScubaPro gear.
As far as dive charters, there are great boats leaving out of Pompano Beach and Ft. Lauderdale.
You will be living less than an hour from Key Largo also, so that is a great option.
Good Luck and welcome to FL.

Steve

Divers Direct in FTL is a nice "mega" store. They have good prices and a good selection. I-95 and Griffin Road. Go Bucs!

cheapest fill rates for nitrox and trimix, top notch instruction and service at www.the-scuba-shop.com. They also run charters out of Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and the Keys. Ask for Alex or Rosie...

An alternative to the above, with equal pricing and possibly reputation, is Fill Express www.fillexpress.com in Pompano Beach. Mostly Dive Rite equipment, and while oriented towards Techies, they are also very much rec diver friendly. Very good prices on Nitrox fills (.07 per cu. ft), banked 32, 36, 40 %s

Divers Direct/World Watersports in Dania is a good choice for good quality gear at very competitive prices. Only drawback, not enough variety (mostly Mares, Oceanic, Zeagle, Tusa, and O'Neil) This shop does not do Nitrox fills, but their shop in WPB does banked 32%.

Go Bucs!!!!
