Experience one of Fort Lauderdale's most unique and spectacular dive sites on this exciting night lobster hunting adventure! The Yellow Brick Road offers an incredible underwater landscape perfect for spotting spiny lobsters in their natural habitat.

Dive Details:

• Location: Yellow Brick Road - just off the beach between Johnson and Michigan streets (behind the bandshell)
• Entry: Shore dive from beach access
• Distance: 1,800-foot surface swim to the dive site
• Terrain: 32-foot wide trail of cement blocks tracing eastward, surrounded by reef with deep undercuts
• Dive Type: Night dive with lobster hunting focus

About the Site: This fascinating dive site features the remains of a large drainage pipe that was once overlaid with paving blocks connected by reinforcing steel. Over time, the pipe deteriorated and collapsed beneath the fabric of blocks, creating what remains today - a dreamscape for tropical fish and a cafeteria line for the larger predators that feed on them. The reef surrounding the old pipe gulley is full of deep undercuts, typically home to lobsters and sleeping nurse sharks.

What to Expect: This is an intermediate-level shore dive requiring strong swimming skills due to the substantial surface swim (approximately two pier lengths). Once you reach the Yellow Brick Road, you'll explore this unique artificial reef structure that has become a thriving ecosystem, providing excellent opportunities to spot lobsters hiding in the undercuts alongside diverse marine life.

Required Equipment:

• Minimum 2 dive lights (primary and backup)
