Lighthouse Dive Club http://lighthousediveclub.com A fun dive club located in Boca Raton Florida.

There are three parallel reef systems relatively close to shore, with inlets allowing easy access to the county’s nearly 70 dive sites. Deep water close to land allows the Gulf Stream to flow closer to shore here than anywhere else on the U.S. East Coast, ensuring excellent water clarity and lots of healthy reef growth. More than 300 species of fish and hundreds of coral and sponge species are found in these waters. On every dive, you’ll find teeming schools of fish and chance encounters with big pelagics. Almost every dive here is a drift dive, so you can cover maximum ground with minimal effort. Add a great selection of artificial reefs–including a shore dive at a bridge where the muck diving is compared to Indonesia’s Lembeh Strait–and it’s no wonder why diving is such a popular past time in South Florida.
