Snorkel in the Florida Keys

Join me aboard my new and modern vessel as I take you to the ideal snorkeling locations. Explore the unique underwater ecosystem that makes the Florida Keys so special. Identify fish, sharks, rays, corals and other species with the guidance of your local guide. On the reefs, you typically find the mature phase of life species as well as hard corals, soft corals, fan corals, etc. You are also more subject to Mother Nature's effects when you travel this far from shore (i.e. rougher surface and ocean conditions at times). In contrast, the mangrove habitats are shallow and unique. They provide crucial nursery grounds for juvenile species. Approximately 75% of game fish and 90% of commercial species rely on mangroves during part of their life cycle. Please note that I have extensive experience as a local captain and dive instructor in the area, and sometimes the coral reefs are simply inaccessible due to high winds and elevated wave heights.
