4th Observation-Lauderdale Diver

Today I visited a local diving shop, Lauderdale Diver which is located in Fort Lauderdale. The shop had a variety of supplies and everything you need to start a diving adventure. They had top selling brands such as: Aqua Lung, Oceanic, O'Neill, Body Glove, and Sealife. The products they sell were all in regards to diving and snorkeling. They were supplied with tanks, snorkels, fins, goggles, wetsuits, rashgaurds, bags, cameras, dive lights, gloves, hoses, knives, sunglasses, and masks, basically anything and everything you need. They also had diving lessons available to sign up for and that covered all levels. Lauderdale Diver also provided daily dive trips and even had a special feature that allows you to organize a dive trip anywhere in the world! The dive levels range from Open Water, Advanced Open Water, EFR, Rescue Diver, Dive Master, Assistant Instructor, and other specialty courses that zone in on a certain aspect, such as Coral Reef Restoration. They also allow children as young as 10 years old to get Discover Scuba and Open Water Training. Lauderdale Diver also allows you to rent equipment if necessary. The staff was very friendly and insightful on diving and all of the products. The shop made me excited to obtain my scuba license, which I plan on getting this summer. It showed me all the cool things I would be learning about and eventually will be extremely accustomed to and comfortable with. Scuba Diving is obviously a huge aspect of Marine Biology and that is how most graduate students start the projects they do for their master's degree. The shop basically just got me excited and ready to jump in the water.
