momK Posted December 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (I have also posted this on the scuba/snorkel board.) We will be traveling on the Caribbean Princess, and will be in Port Everglades 1/3/15 for the BtB day. Are there any convenient dive shops that could provide a dive or two within the 7-4 timeframe that day? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2014 You might want to ask on the Florida Departures board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=495 Many locals frequent that board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauiLvrs Posted December 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Probably. The better dives may be in the keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted December 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Check out the Fort Lauderdale tourist website (http://www.sunny.org) - they have a section devoted to scuba: http://www.sunny.org/ways-to-play/sports/scuba/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubofhockey Posted December 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Probably. The better dives may be in the keys Key Largo is about 90 miles away. There are several diving shops there and reefs. It's probably not doable for a turn around day, but better suited for back to back to cruises when you have a day off in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted December 28, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 28, 2014 One possibility might be a freshwater sinkhole dive .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted December 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The water temperatures in Ft. Lauderdale in January can be down right CHILLY! ;) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Id rather be diving Posted December 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 29, 2014 There are some great dives right in the Lauderdale area. I've never dove in Jan. if you are advanced certified, check out The Captain Dan wreck. The Copenhagen is a good one too, not advanced for that one.

momK Posted December 29, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted December 29, 2014 LOL! Being from MI, that's warm! DH dives around here in low-visability lakes that might make it to 60, even in the summer. He says any diving where you can see and not use a dry suit is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on the beach just north of Fort Lauderdale and aside from the rainy weather we had for a couple of days over Christmas, the beach has been crowded with plenty of swimmers (not me though - I like an 85 degree pool :D).
