This is a one-tank beach dive at a local favorite dive site. The reef off of El Prado Park is a north-to-south running reef just north of Commercial Blvd Pier. The reef is in about 15' to 18' feet of depth where you may find many varieties of marine life and corals.
NOTE: Due to heavy boat traffic in the area, dive flags are required for each dive group, and divers MUST stay with their dive flag.
This beach dive is free for NSU Scuba Club members. However, you will need to reserve your spot on the trip by signing up here. You may register for the trip up until 12:00pm on Friday, January 26, 2024.

Head north on I-95 to Commercial Blvd. Go East on Commercial Blvd until you get to A1A. Turn left on A1A (aka N Ocean Drive) heading north for about two blocks until you see the El Prado city parking lot on your right. Park in that parking lot. You will need to pay the meters, approximately $2 per hour. Set your parking for at least three hours. If you are coming from NSU Main Campus, give yourself 35 minutes drive time to get there.
