Local Beach Diving Sites
Serving South Florida divers since 1976 Welcome to beach diving in South Florida. Nowhere else in the United States can you step into the warm blue waters and find such great diving so close to shore. Scuba diving and snorkeling from our shores is as good as it gets in this country. Should you chose to go, please remember that you
must use a Dive flag and float. Please do not dive alone. Below is a short list of good shore diving sites. You can get more sites and information by visiting a Force-E store. Enjoy!
Riviera Beach Store vicinity
Phil Foster Park
(One of the best but check the cautions)
The entrance to the park is on the East side of the Blue Heron Boulevard Bridge about a quarter mile east of our store. There is plenty of parking. Enter the water under the bridge via the small beach on the west side of the bark. Swim to the right and go back under the bridge from south to north. Continue past the bridge to the foundation of the old bridge. There are old concrete columns that lie just north of the old bridge foundation.
CAUTION: Do not swim too far to the west into the boat channel. Don't go west of the fourth set of bridge columns. Be considerate to fisherman on the old bridge. There are strong currents except at Slack Tides.
Check with our Force-E Riviera Store for the best times to dive. Depths range from about 6 to 16 feet.
Worth Avenue Pier Debris (Palm Beach)
(Easy access and interesting strip to snorkel or dive)
The debris from the old pier is spread across the bottom in a west to east direction directly in line with the Worth Av. street sign. The eastern edge of the pier reveals a patch reef and ledges that run North and South. Depths range from 8 to 14 feet.
Boca Raton and Pompano Beach Stores vicinity
Red Reef Park
(A1A between Palmetto Park Rd and Spanish River Blvd. bridges)
This is a popular Boca Raton Beach Park. Parking is expensive but the facilities, showers, tables, restrooms, playground and lifeguards on duty. Snorkelers are not required to use a flag and float but it is still a good idea. Depths range from 3- 8 feet. The entry point is just south of the beach access ramp. There is some artificial reef boulders slightly outside and South of the "Red Reef" area.
Deerfield Beach Ledges
This site is adjacent to the public beach in Deerfield Beach. This end of the beach does not have a lifeguard. Take South Ocean Way from A1A and proceed south. Pass the Howard Johnson's hotel on your right and follow S. Ocean Way around the big condominium Cove Beach Club. Park in the spaces just south of the Cove Beach Club. There are three lines of reef here running parallel to the beach. The first line of reef starts about 75 feet offshore. (Depth about 6') The second line of reef is about 50 feet beyond the first. (depth 10-12') The third line of reef is another 40 feet past the 2nd line. (Depth 14-16').
Vista Park
(Just south of Oakland Park Blvd in N. Ft. Lauderdale)
This reef is very wide and runs North and South for about 600 yards. It starts 70 to 80 yards from shore and runs from 10 to 18 feet in depth. Park in Vista Park. The Park is in front of the middle of the reef. The reef is over 100 yards wide. Bring a float and flag and stay close to it.
Local Boat Diving Sites
Serving South Florida divers since 1976 Welcome to the best diving in the United States. The local dive sites described below are all included in a strip of ocean less than a mile wide and fifty miles long. This list by no means includes even half of the great diving we have to offer but it is enough for the visiting or local boater to get a good start. The list favors the Western (inside) edge of the reefs but don't forget the top and outside fingers can be beautiful and productive.
Because of our usually light but sometimes screaming current, drift diving is the most popular way to explore the reefs. Simply drop a buddy team on a location with a sturdy float and flag. The helmsman follows the flag until the team surfaces. Repeat. Three divers can each get in two dives with only three drops. It is not a good idea to try to anchor on the reefs. Beside being destructive, it's too easy for a team to get lost and be unable to return to the boat against the current.
Mooring Buoys are very convenient. Run a line through the buoy loop and cleat it off. Dive, relax and enjoy the day. You'll soon discover why living and diving here is so wonderful.

A Boaters Guide to Bimini
Bimini Island in the Bahamas is only 50 to 60 miles off South Florida's shore.This is world class diving. The corals are extremely healthy. The walls offer vertical drops of 1000's of feet. This is incredible stuff.
Getting to Bimini
Recognizing how valuable tourism is to the islands' economy, the government of the Bahamas extends the welcome mat to Florida boaters each year. But they also make you pay for the privilege of using their waters.
This year be prepared to ante up if you're running to Bimini aboard your own boat. The requisite cruising permit now costs $150 for boats up to 35 feet, and $300 for boats larger. If you have more than four people aboard-including the captain-there's another $15 per head, covering Bahamas departure taxes. Bring cash. In fact, brings lots of cash for Bimini trips. Credit card and ATM services are spotty and those that accept credit cards usually charge a hefty surcharge.
Largely in response to negative feedback over the permit hike, in January 04 the Bahamas government announced that you can travel twice to the islands within 90 days on the same permit. More changes in the fee structure may be forthcoming. Otherwise, the procedures for obtaining permission to travel throughout this sovereign nation remain unchanged for 2005. Note, too, that penalties for violations are likely to be as stiff as ever-including huge fines and possible jail time. Obey the law and have a good time.
It's still required that every person aboard have either a passport, or a birth certificate (original or certified) and official photo I.D. (drivers' license).
Before entering any Bahamas harbor, raise the yellow quarantine flag up an outrigger or fishing rod. Have a Bahamas courtesy flag standing by to hoist upon clearance. You can get the both flags at any local marine store.
If you've made arrangements to stay at a hotel, tie up to the dock, contact the dockmaster and ask for Customs and Immigration forms. If you aren't planning to overnight in a hotel, you can still generally receive permission to temporarily moor at an available hotel dock (Weeches or Bluewater on North Bimini). Tipping the dockmaster is customary.
If you'd like to download the forms to prepare in advance, visit www.bahamas.com .
The captain is the only one who may go ashore to deliver the forms and show boat registration and passports to the Customs and Immigration offices. Offices are usually open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If you have a gun on your boat to fend off pirates (more imagined than real these days), keep it there, locked away at all times per local law. On the Customs documents you must report the serial number and manufacturer of the firearm, plus the exact number of rounds. This is another one of those rules that officials take very seriously.
Return your immigration cards to the Immigration office on the last island you visit before departing for home. Keep your cruising permit.
Returning home
Big boats (over 30 feet) must possess a U.S. Customs decal, which you can purchase for $25 annually at www.cbp.gov or by calling (317) 298-1245. U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP), under the Dept. of Homeland Security, issues these decals, and is also the agency you'll need to contact as soon as you return to homeport-on any size boat. It's worth getting one for a smaller boat too. You will find your return home a bit easier.
Back in the U.S., before anyone gets off the boat, the captain must call the Small Boat Reporting Hotline at 1-800-432-1216 to report arrival. You'll then be instructed to drive (perhaps by car) your crew to the closest CBP office for immigration clearance. Depending on where you are, this can be something of a hassle, but for now we'll have to accept it as part of the trip.
Dive sites in Bimini
The following list is published so that boaters can get the most out of the trip. Many of these sites have mooring buoys which are maintained by several of the commercial operations on Bimini. They have first dibs on the usage of those buoys. If you are on a buoy and a dive operator asks you to leave, please do. There is NO FISHING FROM THE BUOYS.
Because storms and boats can remove buoys, this list is not always current. Please do not anchor on the sites. Drift the sight if you are set on diving it. Bimini diving is the best of the best. Enjoy!

It causes an average current of about one knot running parallel to the reef line. This gentle current allows the diver to slowly fly along the reef line without expending much energy. When you finish your dive, simply surface next to your personal float and flag. The boat will pick you up. It's so easy you'll get more time out of your tanks here. Email us or call toll free 866-845-2333.
