Name: Let's Freedive the Erojacks off of Dania Beach
Start: 2025-11-16T12:00:00-05:00

Location: Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park

Back in the 60s, the Erosion Prevention District heaped large concrete "jacks" underwater, in lengthy lines, in an attempt to keep sand from eroding from the beaches. It didn't work, but the result is that we have another artificial reef to explore.

Dania Beach is nice to visit if you want to get away from crowds. In this park, there are no buildings and no city hubbub by the shore.

There's lot's of underwater life along the crusty, 1300-foot concrete reef, and it terminates at some natural limestone ledges. We will likely see porcupine fish, lobster, giant angel fish, and nurse sharks. And possibly some cuddly remoras. 🙄 There's a story there.

We'll meet at parking for the pier.

Stats: A 100-yard swim, and then we glide along the erojacks. Depth ranges from 10-25 feet.
