We make two different stops on the third largest barrier reef in the world - the ONLY barrier reef in the USA! Bring your friends, family, significant other, or buddy to share memories of your adventure - or join us on a solo getaway! Enjoy the sun deck or jump in the refreshing water to snorkel and discover what’s below the surface! Our reefs are about 20 to 35 feet deep with high profile coral. You can be anywhere from 5 to 15 feet from the reef! Beginners are welcome, but you must be able to swim to enjoy this excursion. We do not have guides in the water. All equipment is included. Snorkel vests are required to be worn in the water (included). We ask that you refrain from using aerosol sunscreens before joining us for diving or snorkeling as the chemicals found in these sunscreens are toxic to our marine life.

Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary supports one of the most diverse assemblages of marine life in North America. Although best known for its coral reefs, the shallow nearshore waters contain interconnecting marine habitats that include fringing mangroves, seagrass meadows, and more. Visitors to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary can enjoy diving, snorkeling, paddlesports, wildlife watching, boating, and fishing. Anglers can target inshore species such as tarpon, snook, redfish, barracuda, and hogfish; they can also target many offshore species including mahi mahi, marlin, sailfish, tuna, and wahoo.
