Since 2014, Mike has conducted over 800 trips on this magnificent section of reef in beautiful Lauderdale by the Sea. NOBODY knows this reef better! This unique spot is only a few minutes swim from shore and consists of hard and soft corals, fantastic colorful sponges, and a wide variety of amazing marine life! No need to spend all day traveling on a boat! Conditions permitting, we see angelfish, parrotfish, blue headed wrasse and sergeant majors on a daily basis. We also often see various types of rays, sea turtles, eels and nurse sharks (NOT dangerous!). From the water we have a great view of the quaint town and historic Anglin's Pier and you will have the opportunity to have your picture taken with them in the background. Mike will show you some of the best spots on the reef and can identify most of the fish you will see, and is a certified and insured Divemaster! This is a personal experience consisting of small groups, usually 4-6 people, with a maximum of 8.

What To Expect

You'll be given gear and beginner instruction, as well as a trip briefing. After that it's a short walk to the beach where everyone gets some practice in shallow water before a short swim out to the reef. Conditions permitting, you will see a living coral reef with soft and hard corals, colorful sponges and a wide variety of tropical fish. Mike will guide the tour and point out various marine life along the way. Mike is a PADI certified and insured Divemaster and has conducted over 700 guided trips on this beautiful section of reef, which is teeming with life. You will be offered optional photographs above and below the water. All the photos on this page as well as the website were taken by Mike on the section of reef he tours daily.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN EXPERT SWIMMER, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO SWIM AND ARE COMFORTABLE PUTTING YOUR FACE IN THE WATER
