Your recommendation from this list of sites around Fort Lauderdale?

[coloradodiver1]

Guys,

I am traveling to Miami on Dec 15 to Dec 21 and I am trying to decide where to dive around Fort Lauderdale and Pompano.

After searching several dive shops I found this one with good reviews (Sea Experience, Ft Lauderdale).

That week they have the following trips and I am trying to select 2 from their list:

- Mercy Jesus
- Jay Scutti
- Hog Heaven
- Shark Reef
- Robert Edmister

Could you please help me decide the best 2-3 of this list?

Thanks!

that's their selection for that week.


haven't dove any of your selections yet myself but heard good things about the Jay Scutti & hog heaven
usually it's captain's choice & can change depending on weather -- usually a 2 tank trip is a wreck & a reef.

Love diving with sea experience. Great Choice.

Shark reef is good (chance to see some big guys swimming around there). The wrecks are all pretty similar but good

the Jay Scutti looks interesting -- multiple wrecks on the same site -- here's the info from D.D.
At the center of this artificial reef is the Jay Scutti, a harbor tugboat purchased by Dale Scutti and donated to the Broward County's Artificial Reef Program in order to be sunk in memory of his son, Jay.
This site is now a collection of several wrecks, combined forming a wonderful artificial reef in only 70 feet of water. The Jay Scutti tug lies at the center between the 45-foot Moonshot and the 95-foot sailboat Pride. The B.H. Lake, a 40-foot yacht lies in the same area 130 feet northeast of Jay Scutti. This wreck site contains several other vessels as well as other materials that were used to help in the formation of the artificial reef. A 132-foot oil rig, M/V Tracey, sits upright in 67 feet of water 100 feet north of Jay Scutti. A 90-foot freighter lies a bit further north and a pile of limestone boulders known as "Dog Pile" lies even further north. The site is only in 70 feet of water with the beginning of Jay Scutti's mast at 45 feet. This collection of wrecks and debris form a healthy habitat for reef formation and sea life.

i can't dive during the week except night dives -- but the double dip on tenneco towers on that sunday looks interesting..... might have to see what's going on that day and post the sugestion for the group..

trying to get into a dive on the 7th right now..
