NEWS SPLASH

Happy Spring, Gold Coast Scuba Family!

We're adjacent to one of the top-searched spring break destinations in the country (Fort Lauderdale recently ranked #1 for 2026 beach getaways!), but Lauderdale-by-the-Sea offers the perfect calmer escape—pristine reefs just steps from shore, less crowds, and incredible underwater adventures for everyone.

Kick off spring with purpose: Join our FREE BleachWatch classroom training on April 25th and learn how to monitor and protect Florida’s precious coral reefs. Open Water certified divers can level up and earn your PADI BleachWatch Distinctive Specialty certification—become a certified reef guardian, add a cool credential to your logbook, and help preserve the reefs you'll explore during your spring break dives!

Looking for a private boat charter? Choose from one of our custom & guided snorkeling, underwater scooter or tankless diving tours – just you and your friends/ family with our crew’s full dedication. Head out to the reef or a ship wreck and spot amazing sea life with your camera ready! Dates are available in April and May, reserve here for the ultimate experience!

Let’s make 2026 your best year underwater yet! Follow our Facebook page and Instagram to learn about more upcoming events and workshops to continue your diving journey with us!

Dive safe & see you soon,

Open to all divers and snorkelers, our next class is on April 25th from 9-11am. It's a FREE two-hour course to learn about coral biology, coral bleaching and disease, and how to properly assess coral condition to submit reports for tracking and trending.

Open Water divers have the option to further their citizen science education and earn a PADI specialty credit by completing two dives afterward (2 tank boat dive immediately following or contact us for a shore dive on Sunday morning).

Course and dives are led by a PADI and Southeast Florida Action Network (SEAFAN) BleachWatch Program Certified Instructor, David Meechan.
