Join IID in Pompano Florida for a fun filled weekend with Reefs and Wrecks filled with fish and coral!

During the spring and summer months we enjoy the Aqua Zoo, the "Aqua Zoo" is my favorite dive in South Florida.  It's a 171 foot barge tuned upside down that has created a great home for lot's of critters.  Southern Stingrays, Nurse Sharks, Goliath Grouper (personally I still call them Jew Fish), Moray Eels, Jacks, Barracuda, and hundreds of fish.  If you want excitement, this dive is a must.

We also check out the local wrecks.  The ship wrecks run between 20 ft. and 260ft. depending on your preference, there's something for everyone. Covered with lots of growth and inhabited by most every fish you can think of.
