Biscayne or Pennekamp for Snorkeling???


I%26#39;ve snorkelled Key West, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel...and John Pennekamp marine park near Key Largo has been my favorite experience so far!





It was beautiful and the marine life so abundant. We went on a Friday morning July 2003. We went with a smaller boat-had a great captain. There were other larger boats/catamarans in the same area (Christ statue) with divers/snorkellers. Our captain was able to maneuver around easier. Used a company from yellow pages...they are located on the right side of the road near Key Largo-red/white building. (sorry I can%26#39;t remember their name!)





We saw so many different fish, barracuda, sea turtles, eels, huge brain coral, brillant purples, yellows, and reds. Also, really enjoyed the short ride out to the snorkelling site-the waters are shallow and very clear- you can see the bottom the whole ride out-we also had these very thin silver ';flying'; jumped alongside the boat the whole way there-kids loved that :)





Hope the past hurricanes haven%26#39;t changed too much...planning on returning for a day visit before cruising out of Miami soon...hope to be more educated on the types of fish so, that I can know what I%26#39;m seeing:)





Happy Travels!
