many areas. The Gulf Stream sweeps close to shore and gives the area warm

Scuba Diving in Florida Equals a Great Value Florida is the center of scuba diving in the US. Florida
diving is the most diverse. There are more dive shops and dive boats in
Southeast Florida than anywhere else on the planet. With this much volume
and competition, the local and traveling diver reaps the benefits of lowest
prices and incredible values.
The South Florida Diving Menu:·Southeast Florida artificial reef and wreck program
Southeast Florida has the largest artificial reef and wreck program in
the country. There are 60 wrecks in the vicinity. Several of Palm Beach
and Broward County wrecks are perfect for the novice diver. Most of our
wrecks are within the sport diver limit of 130 feet. Some are much deeper
and require technical skills. We even have one of the world’s top
ten natural wrecks.
·Southeast Florida drift diving The reefs from North Palm Beach to South Ft. Lauderdale run parallel to shore. The first line favors the south from Boca Raton through Pompano and is close to shore and shallow. The second line is scattered in the north and almost constant from Boca Raton to southern Ft. Lauderdale and ranges from a quarter to a half mile off shore with depths from twenty-five to fifty feet. The third and best line of reef is solid from Jupiter to south Ft. Lauderdale. This reef runs from forty-five feet to over a hundred with great ledges. All of our reefs are abundant with life. ·South Florida Lobsters and Spearfishing
Lobstering in Florida is legal from late July through March. Our Spiny
Lobster are found at all depths. With a little experience and the proper
equipment, the Florida diver can pick up a gourmet meal on most dives.
Spear fishing is legal in Southeast Florida. It is however not good
manners to spear in the vicinity of other divers or on popular dive
wrecks. Some of our boats will do special drops for spear fisherman
. When lobstering or spearfishing, you will need to have a Florida saltwater
fishing license and follow the laws. Force-E can help with the license
and tell you where to find the laws.
·Underwater PhotographySoutheast Florida is a haven for shutter bugs. Clear blue water, wrecks, abundant life, dramatic reef formations and depths that let you dive and dive and dive. Come within inches of Goliath Groupers, Stingrays, Sharks, Moray and Spotted Eels, a plethora of tropicals, invertebrates and abundant soft and hard corals. Bring lots of film. Other Florida diving:The Northeast Florida Coast·From Jacksonville to Coco Beach you'll find some very good artificial reefs (wrecks) to explore. By south Florida standards, everything is pretty far off shore but the spearfishing opportunities are huge. Visibility on the wrecks is surprisingly good and worth the trip. The Southwest Florida Coast·From Tampa to Marco Island the water is shallow and void of coral but they do have rock ledges and some wrecks that make things interesting. The Gulf of Mexico is very shallow close to shore so trips here move pretty far off shore and the visibility is often around 20 feet. This is big fish country. You can bump into more grouper on one dive than you've ever seen. The Coast of the Florida Panhandle·The Panhandle of Florida, Panama City to Pensacola, has some great artificial reefs and freshwater springs to entertain divers in the Southeastern U.S. that need a quick fix of compressed air underwater. It's only a few hours drive from Atlanta, Ashville, Birmingham and Greenville. North Central Florida·This is the Spring and Cave capitol of the U.S. People from around the world come to explore the hundreds of miles of underwater caves here. Special training and equipment is required to operate in this realm. The Florida Keys
·The Keys are world famous as a dive destination. Everybody that
comes to South Florida for over a week should dive there at least once.
The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is in the process of returning
the reefs to their pristine beginnings. The upper Keys have two famous artificial
reefs (wrecks) The Spiegel Grove and the Duane. The readers of Scuba Diving
Magazine have voted our area as having better diving in 8 out of 9 categories.
