Off of Delray beach, there is a boat/ship about 200 yds out from the southern
most stoplight on the strip in front of the beach.

Better yet, if the surf is not too bad, go down to "Bald Patch Reef" in
Pompano. It's a nice dive.

If you're going south on A1A from Delray to Pompano, you'll pass through a
(relatively) less populated area right before a nature preserve. If you
stop right before that (should be a parking lot to the east next to some
lodge or rotary group or something), walk to the beach across the st. and
then walk back north about 1/4 mile to the point with all the rocks, you'll
come to a very reasonable snorkeling/diving area, although it's a little
rough some times. Continue further north on that beach and you'll come to
a patch reef area.


If you're in the area, and are looking for good advice, I'd recommend the
dive shop called "Force One" in Pompano. I got certified there and they
were very honest, nice people. Also, the "Patch Reed Park" isn't too far
from there, so it's a good place to get air fills.
