Ahhh, Lauderdale by the sea.... used to be great beach dives if you were willing to swim a ways... has it changed?
No.. its still decent... not hawaii/curacao or anything but yes we have the first reef about 1/4 mile of shore in about 10-15 feet of water... (novice special..) then you got anglin which is pretty good about a mile out.
you can take your gear out of your car and go right out..
not much fish, rogue shark, jack, snapper etc..... on the first reef.. deeper anglin is much better...
http://www.diveseahorse.com/dive_sites/reef_sites.htmthey have buoy's tied up to sunken wrecks just south of me, but a kayak or boat is needed as its a good mile or so offshore at the second reef..... under 100 ft depth though... usually good vis. (the mecedes {a vessel} has a giant cuda living in it..)
