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.

More pics from an early July trip. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mentalblock/collections/72157624598861059/ Really enjoyed an area out beyond the pier and (I think) nearly in line with it where there were lots of Glassy Sweepers schooled up down in the reef and a bunch of Juvenile Grunts (French?) schooled up above them, with lots of Juvenile Bar Jacks darting around. I also was surprised by a ray when nearly back to shore, and after failing to get the camera to focus on it before it went out of sight, I realized that the only time that I had seen a ray flap its wings in that manner was when I had the pleasure of visiting with Molly the Manta off Little Cayman many years ago. This little guy couldn't have been more than five feet wide. I've since read that others have seen mantas in the area of late.
