New to the FL area - looking for dive club, recommendations

[jejton]

I recently moved to Broward county and am looking for dive clubs, as well as recommendations for local dive operators and shops. I have about 50 dives logged and its been over a year so want to get my gear serviced and wet! I have previously dived out of Key Largo but am looking for some local options for when I have a free morning or afternoon. TIA

I like Sea Experience off off Seabreeze.
Great people!
For shore diving I joined meetup and go with either gold cost scuba or south Florida beach divers.
Don’t know if any clubs.

 

[Key Largo Dive Center]

Good Morning! We have an awesome dive club here in Key Largo. It's made of people all over the country, as well as outside the country. We try to do 3-4 trips a year. We just got back from Little Cayman, we're going to Turks and Caicos next month, Palau in April, and Bonaire in October 2019 with more trips to come. Check out our website, facebook, or give me a call at the shop! We'd love to chat with you!

Thanks, I'll definitely check you out when I'm in the area ! I would also like to find both a shop and if possible, a club closer to me (Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale/North Miami Beach). Some changes (for the better) in my life, along with the move to Florida, mean that I can potentially dive a few times/month potentially. I also need to get my gear serviced and would like a local shop for that.

I'm not personally sure of any shops in that area, but depending on your gear, we can service it. We can do Huish, Dive Rite, and Tilos in our shop.

I also joined beach divers but I haven’t had a chance to go with them yet. They always post great dives. I believe this is Tom posting? If so you were my instructor during my Pool open water dives through Aquatic Ventures
Aquatic ventures is a great local shop here in broward. I used them for my OW and Nitrox certs and have continued to join the shop as a guest diver when I get free time. I can’t recommend them enough. Great people. Not a huge building but they have a nice selection of products in house, do air fills as well as offer VIS and HYDRO testing done by them personally (their personal offsite facilitie) Not a secondary company. Kery the owner is a friendly and fun guy.
