Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Scuba Diving
“The Shore Dive Capital of South Florida”
South Florida has an extensive reef system just off shore and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is right in the middle of our best diving where the reef starts within 100 yards of the beach. In fact, in 1997 Broward County declared Lauderdale-by-the-Sea “The Shore Dive Capital of South Florida”. By The Sea Realty is proud to be a supporter of the town’s scuba diving community and coral reef conservation efforts.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is also home to the SS Copenhagen ship wreck, one of just 11 underwater archaeological preserves in Florida. In 2001 the Copenhagen was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located on a shallow reef just off the beach this wreck is popular with both scuba divers and snorkelers.
