More and more visitors are discovering that there is another category of diving that
merits mention. That is, skin diving or snorkeling as its known today.
Snorkeling has been called the one of the best family sports there is and snorkel gear
is being sold everywhere. They say "If you can swim you can snorkel". If you've never
been snorkeling before, with some basic instruction you can soon be in the water
observing the Florida Keys tropical fish and colorful, living coral and other reef creatures
that help make up the underwater world of John Pennekamp State Underwater Park,
Looe Key and countless other places up and down the Florida Keys.
Most of the dive shops in the Florida Keys offer snorkeling on their boats but they are
primarily geared for the certified scuba diver. Those boats may go to the deeper areas
of the reefs. However several shops and boats do offer snorkel only tours and these
trips are geared for skin divers and go to the more shallow areas of the reefs. On these
tours you may find parents who have been scuba diving for years introducing their
young children to the wonders of the sea. In the process they re-discover what got
them interested in diving in the first place. The thrill and freedom of floating over a living
coral garden with only mask, fins, snorkel and safety vest is hard to top!
