The American Dream II is owned and operated by Capt. Todd Rogers and his wife Chris. Todd was born in New York but was raised in the Ft. Lauderdale area. He has been diving the waters of South Florida for over seventeen years. Todd is a U.S. Coast Guard certified captain. He has run boats extensively throughout Florida as well as up the eastern seaboard and into Canada. Capt Todd has been a PADI certified diver since 1983 and is currently trained to the Divemaster level. Chris Rogers was raised in South Florida and has been diving the local waters since 1989. She is a Chief Fire Officer for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue as well as a Paramedic and a Rescue Diver. She is currently trained to the PADI Divemaster level and hopes to obtain her US Coast Guard captains license in the future. The Rogers are occasionally joined on the boat by Bugs and Savannah. Savannah is a yellow lab and is no stranger to the water or to boats. Bugs is a retired racing greyhound and although not an accomplished swimmer he feels right at home on the American Dream II.

Scuba Diving in Fort Lauderdale is excellent. The warm waters of the Gulf Stream keep the water temperatures averaging around 72-75 degrees in the winter and 84-87 in the summer so there is no end to the dive season. Visibility averages around 40 feet and improves in the winter with the reduction of algae.
The reef system is comprised of three bands that run parallel to the shore ranging from 15 feet to 100 feet deep. These reefs are made up of coral growth on top of an eroded base of ancient reefs in an ideal depth and location for coral proliferation. Currents tend to be mild on the shallow reefs but can get strong on the deeper sites. Some of The American Dream`s favorite reef sites are: The Caves, Oakland Ridges, Barracuda, Hammerhead, Minecar, Paradise, Tuna Alley.
Barracuda Reef is 15 foot west-facing ledge starting at 15 feet deep and reaching the sand at 30 feet. The top of the ledge is covered with sea fans and sponges and there are usually lots of tropicals.
Hammerhead - Large grouper, rays, and sharks are found on the backside of Hammerhead Reef which is at a depth of 80 feet while the front side at 60 feet is full of grunts, snapper and some friendly green moray eels.
The Fort Lauderdale coast is one the world`s premiere wreck diving destinations. Since 1982 the Broward County Department of Natural Resource Protection with the help of various private companies has created more than 75 artificial reefs sunk at various levels. Most are sunk at 65 feet or deeper and are intact and covered in soft corals. Many of the them have a colorful history.
The American Dream visits:
Robert Edmister - This 95 foot Coast Guard cutter was built in 1953 and was resold at in auction in Fort Lauderdale to a businessman who renamed her Robert Edmister after a friend who had passed away. The newly named Robert Edmister was sunk on Dec. 11, 1989 and sits upright in 70 feet of water. The Edmister has already attracted a good variety of marine life including coral.
Jay Scutti - This 95 foot harbor tugboat was built in the Netherlands in 1961 and confiscated during a marijuana smuggling mission. She was purchased at auction by a local businessman and renamed Jay Scutti in memory of his son. The wreck was sunk as an artificial reef on Sept. 19, 1986 and is attached to the wreck of the 95 foot steel work boat Pride with a cable. Divers can explore both vessels on one dive.
Rebel - The Dutch freighter Rebel was built in 1947 and was 128 feel long. After being confiscated for drug smuggling, she was purchased at a federal auction by a Fort Lauderdale attorney and environmentalist who donated her to the county reef program. The Rebel sits in 110 feet of water intact and upright and visibility has been reported to exceed 100 feet. Divers can reach the deck of the Rebel at 85 feet.
