Vista Park, N. Ft. Lauderdale Shore Dive - Dive Site Map of Florida & Bahamas from www.ScubaLessonsInc.com (sitios de interés)

Vista Park Address: 2851 N Atlantic Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308.  The park is open from 8:00am to 9:00pm. Depth Range: 10' to 18'.  This is a real nice dive spot. The reef is huge, I spent two hours there and saw less than a quarter of what is there. The coral life is amazing, soft corals, many several feet tall are everywhere Big heads of hard coral some three or more feet tall are not uncommon. In some areas I saw stag horn corals carpeting the ground. While the fish were not as dense as at gulf stream park, they were much more diverse, I saw almost everything I have seen in south Florida, Angelfish, Damsels, wrasses, parrotfish, a small nurse shark, a small stingray, and a whole lot I could not identify. This is seriously one of the best reefs I have seen this close to shore.   This reef is very wide and runs North and South for about 600 yards. It starts 70 to 80 yards from shore and runs from 10 to 18 feet in depth. Park in Vista Park. The Park is in front of the middle of the reef. The reef is over 100 yards wide. Bring a float and flag and stay close to it.
