Replace or update your card, buy a Special Edition or Project AWARE® version of your PADI certification card, or go digital with the purchase of a PADI eCard™.
You can do shore dives to boat divers in the area as long as conditions of the ocean are good. You can dive in Jupiter to Key West. I like to go to Blue Heron Bridge at Phil Foster Park at high tide for adventures of different small marine life and the ability to do photography underwater.
When to dive in Fort Lauderdale
Any place you see a great location. From Fort Lauderdale Beach you are not allowed to go down till hit the first reef at the buoy related to lifeguard insurance, you can dive underwater to return to shore.
