The weekend is almost here and you can go in late on Friday, so pack your kit in your car and join us for a quick dive just off the beach in Hollywood.

Not many divers know about Keating Park but those who do don't need to be told about its charms. Nestled among condos, this little gem offers parking close to the ocean, clean restrooms and showers, and some close in lobster habitat rarely visited by lobster hunters.

Conditions are forecast to be mild, although it might be a bit chilly at first. That's okay because the water is 78F, making it 30 degrees warmer than the air when we begin the dive!

Plan on a maximum depth of 25' and bottom time of approximately 60 minutes. If you are not confident in surf entry, plan on taking one of our beginning beach diver courses available beginning in March. Otherwise, this dive is suitable for experienced open water certified divers.

RENTAL GEAR is available with sufficient notice (not later than 2hrs before event time). We can bring to the site BCD, tank, regulator, and weights, if you let us know what size and how much. Air tanks, $10; BCD’s, $15, regulator set, $15; and weights (any amt), $5. To ensure your gear order, please submit payment via Venmo (tom-carpenter-8), PayPal (tcarpenterjr@gmail.com), Zelle (954-559-1186), and CashApp ($beachdiver).
