This is a one-tank beach dive at a local favorite dive site. The reef off of Washingtonia Ave 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.
Lauderdale by the Sea (North of Pier)
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 three blocks until you see Washingtonia Ave, turn right. Park in that area near the park, or drop off your gear there and then park just south in the El Prado 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.
Washingtonia Park, 4600 El Mar Dr Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL – This address takes you to a large grassy area where the beach is accessed. Across the street from there is a pay-for-parking parking lot. If that parking lot is full there is street parking located along El Mar Dr near the park.
