    Fabulous Dives in Pompano Beach, Florida

    Three fabulous dives in Pompano Beach, Florida with the South Florida Diving Headquarters – Pompano Beach on 5/31/2025! These will be my last dives before departing on my planned 6-month thru-hike of the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail from Mt. Katahdin, Maine to Springer Mountain, Georgia beginning on June 23, 2025. Yesterday, we did 2 dives on the Wreck Trek which included the Jay Scutti, Tracy, and Merci Jesus wrecks. 70-foot depth, minimal current, great visibility, ability to penetrate each wreck, and see lots of beautiful fish and carol. Our 3rd dive was on the Nursery with absolutely gorgeous coral and many fish (young fish in their nursery). I dove with a very nice couple from North Carolina. I was close to moving to another site for diving but was very encouraged by these great dives!

  • Good Friday Dive

    Good Friday Dive

    After several months away from SCUBA diving, great day of diving on Good Friday in Key Largo, Florida with the Amoray Divers! Absolutely gorgeous coral reef with lots of fish in relatively shallow water (20-25 feet)! Dive boat warned us about rough seas with 4-5 foot waves, but I found ride to dive site and diving calm with long bottom time due to low depth. They limited dives to 45 minutes, and I returned to the boat with nearly 1/2 tank air (1500 PSI). Kathy and I enjoyed staying at the Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo the night before dives, and I hope to return many times to explore the reef and some great wrecks in the area (USS Spiegel Grove, Benwood, City of Washington, USCG Duane, USCG Bibb). Very professional and knowledgeable crew on Amoray Diver boat; resort staff also very friendly and responsive. https://www.amoray.com/
