South Florida Beach Dives

[atpeach]

I'm a relatively new diver and am looking for a group in the South Florida area to go beach diving with or even open water diving. Please let me know if anyone has a group that I can tag along with to go diving. I just bought a tank to go beach diving and was thinking of Dania Beach but would like to go with a group and not alone.

You've come to the right place! Check out the Florida Conch Divers forum, and you'll find all the beach diving you want. We have a large and very active group here, and are always happy to add new divers. (Be sure to look in the Private Trips area for info on specific dives.)

If you can't find anybody else to dive with, I'll dive with you. I dive around Hollywood/Dania often. It's nice, easy diving with lots of sea life.

Welcome to the board and the group.

Hi and welcome to ScubaBoard and to the Florida Conch Divers Club. Glad you found us. We do a lot of beach diving, and there is a very active group who dive just about every weekend. Whatever your schedule, there is probably somebody who is looking for a buddy.
Also, check out the Private Trips for planned dives. Any trip posted is an invitation to join the fun!

I would love to do a beach dive on Saturday AM if you are up for it, I like to get out early so I'm up for 8 AM if you are and want to invite others. Let me know if you can and I will meet you there.

Sounds good. Have you dived Dania before? (The best access to the Eurojacks is closed right now. Seatech ledge, at the South End of the parking lot, is a great site, but a long swim (~400 yds, according to the book, but it feels even farther.)

I was thinking about riding up to Lauderdale By The Sea for an early Saturday morning outing, since I missed the Keys trip. The two Dania sites are also very good, though, and some of the other Hollywood sites aren't bad either. (I haven't been to Hibiscus at LBTS in a while, and miss that area. Such great diving!)

I was thinking of something along the lines of being in the water by 0730 or 0800, dive for 1.5 hours or so and back with the family about the time they're stumbling out of bed.

How does that sound? Anybody else interested?

I could go up to Hibiscus at LBTS, could meet you around 8 AM. How do I get there?

Will do baited storm, maybe I can plan to come up sometime and we can dive together or if you are coming south, let me know and we can meet up and dive.
