PrincessasMommy Posted January 27, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Costco Canada has the BodyGlove snorkel sets for under $50 (can't remember the exact price) in their stores right now. HTH! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard6933 Posted January 27, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Go to http://www.walmart.com and you'll see that there are about 20 WalMart stores in the area. See if there's one near your hotel. Good Luck. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve20832 Posted January 27, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2008 If you are renting a car, you could go to Sawgrass Mills Mall which is about 20 minutes from the airport. They have everything at that mall. Otherwise, there is a Target and a Sports Authority a couple miles north of the airport on North Federal Highway.

Neither a Sports Authority. There is a plaza though on 17th Causeway. In that Plaza or right next to it is a CVS and they do have snorkel gear at times as well. There might be another small store. JUst remember, you are in a touristy area. A lot of places have touristy geared items. Otherwise, take a trolly ride or cab to the beach. Snorkel gear is not that expensive there.

Rare TPKeller Posted January 27, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2008 If you visit my Fort Lauderdale cruise map, and type in "wal-mart" in the search box below the map, all the area Wal-marts will show up, and you can select the one closest to where you will be staying. You may wish to try a search on "dive shop", there seem to be a number of those nearby as well. Hope this is helpful! Theron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty there just not likely near your hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising lady Posted January 28, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Saw you are on Jewel isn't your 1st port Key West why not get snokel equip there. It would be much easier than running around Ft Lauderdale Sat. I am sure you will see something in Key West also they usually have equipment for sale on the ship. Have a great cruise we leave on Jewel 3-2-08 can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennbr9 Posted January 28, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Boo, Wal Mart! Maybe your job will go to China too. Try 123scuba.com and order on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyny31 Posted January 28, 2008 #12 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Highly Reccomended - There is a Sports Authority in Ft. Lauderdale not far from your hotel. They have the best priced and best quality snorkel gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted January 28, 2008 #13 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I live in Ft. Lauderdale. The closest Walmarts to your hotel are well over 10 miles away, in Hallandale, Sunrise and Lauderdale Lakes. There is a Kmart about 6 miles away in Oakwood Plaza on Stirling Rd in Hollywood. There is a Target about 7 miles away in Fort Lauderdale. I agree that the CVS on 17th Street or one of the shops on the beach would be good places to try. You can even take a public bus from 17th street to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
