Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Lauderdale by the Sea

The very best shore dive place on the East Coast I have ever dove at has been Lauderdale by the Sea. I only made it out to the first reef but it was incredible. That should be your first stop.

As a resident of Lauderdale By The Sea, I have dived this site nearly 100 times or so. Max depth is less than 20 feet, visibility varies by time of year & conditions. Expect some surge & current. Depending on the time of year and the wind conditions, this is a great dive at any time. The reefs were damaged by last summer's hurricanes and many of the honeycombs are filled in halfway or more with sand but there is still plenty to see- turtles, nurse sharks, small eels, squid, grouper, parrot fish, & more. This site is located at the end of Commercial Blvd in Ft Lauderdale. Go past A1A one block, turn either left or right, go 1 or 2 blocks & park as close to the beach as you can.
