Weston Fl. Or Deerfield Beach Fl.

[Darian Dunn]

I will be heading to Orlando :mickey: for a SANS conference. :geek: Then I get my vacation in the Sun. :sunnyday: :tree:

So, I am trying to make vacation plans. Would you stay in Weston Fl. Or Deerfield Beach?

What dive shop would you suggest for either location?

I am considering getting Wreck or Nitrox certified :book2: on this trip. Sorry for using this four letter word, but it needs to be a PADI cert.

There is another option Lehigh Fl. but I was told the diving was not as good on that Coast.

Thanks

PS. Please, don’t suggest staying anywhere else, because I will be staying in a condo and these are the only ones open in Fl. during the time can be there.

Weston & Lehigh Acres are both inland. Deerfield Beach is a better choice from that aspect. Depending on your level of experience, the Gulf has excellent diving. It is much easier to hook up with a charter operation on the east coast. In Deerfield Beach, I recommend Capt Rob of the Lady Go Diver. He works very closely with Dixie Divers (located across the parking lot from the boat). Dixie Divers is a PADI shop, so you'll be able to get the letters you want toward your master diver certification. http://www.dixiediver.com/ Pavan is the owner. He's easy to deal with and knowledgable about the local diving. I've never checked his classes, so I can't comment on the quality.

to Deerfield is Lighthouse Dive Center in Pompano Beach, right near the Hillsboro Inlet. The website is www.lighthousedive.com, I think...

Deerfield Beach is best. Try South Florida Diving Headquarters, www.sfdh.com They offer PADI and NAUI classes, in addition to having a great boat.
