Snorkeling in Key Largo with the Jewish Adventure Club of South Florida

Snorkeling in Key Largo with the Jewish Adventure Club of South Florida

June 27, 11:15 a.m. Sunday Keys Diver Snorkel Tours, or 9:15 a.m. at our carpool site in Hollywood.

Snorkeling in the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary on the coral reefs of John Pennekamp. These waters are the home of some of the most beautiful diving in the United States, home of America's first undersea Park and only living coral reef. The shallow water reefs of Pennekamp State Park and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary have been protected for over 40 years making it an ideal destination for viewing Tropical reef fish close up in their own environment. This is like swimming in an aquarium. Snorkeling gear will be provided if you don't have your own gear. Basic instruction and fish identification lectures will be provided by the vendor. Expect maximum depths on the reefs of 10' to 20', and the tops of the coral heads will likely extend out of the water on low tide. You should anticipate awesome visibility this time of year, and the seas should be calm. We expect to do at least one snorkeling charter every year, and expect this trip to be full! After the dive, please join the Jewish Adventure Club for dinner at a nearby restaurant! If you don't stay for dinner, be sure to discuss this with your fellow car poolers. The Boat will depart at exactly 12:15 p.m. and we can expect to return at around 5:00 p.m. Please make sure to be on time so this way we can get all the signing in out of the way and be ready to get on-board by noon.
