Gold Coast Scuba

At Gold Coast Scuba in Fort Lauderdale, the philosophy is simple: this is a team that would rather be underwater than anywhere else. A PADI 5 Star Dive Center staffed by 6 PADI instructors, it pairs a genuine passion for diving with a select range of top-quality gear to sell and rent at great prices.

Courses, sites and who it suits

Training runs deep here, from PADI Scuba Diving and Snorkelling to technical diving through PADI TecRec, plus EFR First Aid. An onsite classroom, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi make an easy base, while air fills, Nitrox and full equipment rental — including children's sizes — keep divers ready to go.

The local playground is the Southern Broward County Reefs, home to sharks, rays, turtles, eels, ocean fish, corals and more. With a retail shop, dive club and conservation activities, it suits everyone from new divers to seasoned locals who simply want to dive as often as they can.
