Snorkeling Key West
Key West
Crystal clear water and coral reefs teeming with life are just a few miles off the shores of Key West. See parrotfish, tangs, bright coral, and a loggerhead turtle in just 10 feet of water.
With 80 feet or more of visibility and coral reef as far as the eye can snorkeling is a must during any visit to Key West.
