The Shore Diving Capital of South Florida
Florida has the third largest barrier reef in the world! The natural reefs are covered with amazing sea life and incredible structures. The plentiful amounts of artificial reefs and natural reefs in the ocean act like a magnet for fish and reef life. South Florida is home to the largest collection of warm water wrecks. Recognized by Scuba Diving Magazine with Top Ten World’s Best awards for Marine life and wreck diving. The variety of fish and marine creatures living on the reefs is a breath-taking sight.
Have you ever wanted to see what is under the sea but don’t own a boat? It can be a big issue to get out and snorkel or dive on a living coral reef. Fort Lauderdale is the one of a handful of places where you can snorkel and dive on a living coral reef straight off the beach. There are three exclusive lines of coral reefs in succession lines running North to South.
If inclined, you can shore drive off Datura Avenue in Lauderdale by the Sea and see the reefs. The town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is known as “The Shore Diving Capital of South Florida”. Here divers can swim from the beach and find two coral reef lines teeming with sea life, the SS Copenhagen, a state designated archaeological underwater preserve, and the "Shipwreck Snorkel Trail". The Shipwreck Snorkel includes authentic anchors, replicas of cannons and ballast piles and the natural reefs are covered with amazing sea life and incredible structures.
