dam64 Posted February 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2016 We are staying at the Hyatt place on 17 convention street in FLL is there any stores near by that sell snorkel gear so we don't have to lug it in our luggage on the airplane because of weight? No we do not want to rent any thanks we find that a bit gross with germs and all ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie35 Posted February 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I used to live near Pt. Everglades and I'm pretty sure that you. Old find some decent equipment at CVS or Waldgreens. I know there is a Sports Authority at Sawgrass Mills but there may be one closer to your hotel. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTLAMB Posted February 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2016 FWIW, we order snorkel gear, inflatable noodles etc on Amazon Prime and have it shipped to us at the Hotel. We have never missed having it there. Its always right at the front desk waiting when we check in. The savings are ginormous and as wasteful as it seems. we leave it behind. Its still cheaper than renting, and without the checked baggage cost usually cheaper than bringing from home. (we are pretty much down to a carry-on for a 14 day cruise and maybe ONE checked bag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted February 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sure, there is a dive shop on the same side of 17th as the Hyatt....just walk towards the port called "Lauderdale Divers"....the first block past the Embassy Suites...it is in a "strip mall" just past the main entrance to the large mall area where Publix and Total Wine is ("Harbor Shops") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaPA1 Posted February 18, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Another alternative would be to just bring your own snorkel & use the rental mask/fins. I've done that a few times when I didn't want to haul my dive gear, but also didn't want to use a well-used snorkel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownie's is across Cordova. There is also a Divers Discount on Federal Highway on your way from the airport to your hotel. It actually isn't too far away. Publix in the Harbor Shops carries Joe Diver mask, snorkel, and fin sets. They will probably be the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennmaybe Posted February 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2016 You can always put your snorkel gear in a carry-on & avoid the extra weight in checked luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
